Let’s go on an indoor walkabout at the McClung Museum! Free! Exhibits focus on natural history, archaeology, anthropology, decorative arts, and local history. There is a special exhibit right now called Homelands: Connecting to Mounds through Native Art. *Optional lunch after at Kerns Food Hall for lunch 👍 (2201 Kerns Rising Way).
From a clever review of McClung:
“Be ready to spout out, ‘No Way!,’ ‘That’s neat,’ or even an elegant, ‘Very interesting,’ while visiting the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture. This hub of history offers adventurous tales of years past and even of years to come.”
