Happy you enjoyed your visit to NYC and the NY Historical Society Museum. Sorry I couldn't meet all of you there as I was traveling in Africa for three weeks.
This was the third diorama I collaborated on at the Museum and I enjoyed the set up and reaction from the visitors. The curator said that the young visitors loved
the diorama and they had to clean the glass rotunda every day to get off the finger prints! Next I hope to do a permanent diorama of Saratoga with JJD figures.
Using my collection to help teach young children and students about history (some adults as well) is really rewarding and I know many of our members do the same.
I am working with several great local libraries installing rotating dioramas to coincide with the lesson plans of their community schools.
Recently did Ancient Egypt with K&C figures and now doing a Northeast Woodland Indian Village and LaCrosse game with JJD figures.
Also working with a local museum, Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay Long Island, on American Revolution themed dioramas.
I hope you got to see the Historical Society's film on the history of New York City, I think its very well done.
