Museums By Midnight Part 3

When we came downstairs we caught sigh of this gem:


The architectural model and the label for it.



After the Richardson Complex we were soaking wet and more than a little tired, so we caught a cab to the Albright-Knox, and took my car over to the Historical Society( BECHS); best decision we made all night!

Bechs is one of my least favorite places in the city and this time did not disappoint...we were told their were docents around, but could not find any and the folks we did find with BECHS tags on would not answer questions; too bad.






The outside of the building by night
and
The Buffalo's Bethune Exhibit:





The Apostle's Clock


Tools like my dad used to use.




I love this; I am not sure if you'll see it well, but it's called Viewable Storage and I think it's today's version of the old "Cabinet of Wonder"



Take a look inside



Some of the other stuff we found:



Above: The electric building from the 1901 Wold's Fair. If you ever get a chance go to the BECHS resource center and see the architectural model - it's something to write home about.











At the end of the night; we had filled our "dance cards"



We went home, exhausted.
