CMMC in the SNOW

Busy, Busy at the Carnegie

Don't try this at home : )

BRICKS: Montgomery County Building Blocks

Mrs. Hudson's Tuttle Middle School students did it again!
They created another outstanding exhibit for the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County.
This time it was all about Brick.
Montgomery County has a facinating history of brick making and the students did a wonderful job of sharing that history.

They decorated the walls to look like brick walls.
Then attached their brick info onto the 'brick' walls.

Included was a Lego brick building area.

Bricks, bricks and more bricks.

A display case with small sample bricks, raw shale,

a brick cutting wire and a painting of the Poston kilns (often called 'kills')

A display case with an old fashioned, wooden brick mold, a brick carrying tool

a sample frame of brick colors and an

Alhambra tile. Yep, right here in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

SNOWFLAKE BENTLEY

Did you know:

• 37 degrees is the highest temperature snow is possible


• -40 degrees is the lowest temperature it can snow


• snowflakes are shaped differently depending on the temperature at which they are formed

TIMELESS TOYS 2010

Putting together the Timeless Toys Exhibit was more fun then a 'barrel of monkeys'.

Exclaim over a particular toy and immediately give away your age : )

Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day

The Carnegie Museum Participates in the Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day each year.

During the SMMD participating museums offer free admission.

As CMMC is always free, we had to find another way to celebrate Museum Day.

So, we created a game. Participants look for information in our exhibits which explains how CMMC is just like the Smithsonian only smaller. And of course we have a little prize for anyone that finds them all.

Watch for Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day in 2011.
