Rarely Seen: Cool Stuff from the Museum
History/Science,General
'Rarely Seen: Cool Stuff from the Museum' is a exhibition from the State Historical Society of Iowa, showcasing nearly 200 historical artifacts arranged in three large groupings: artifacts associated with famous people, places or events; common everyday artifacts of a utilitarian nature; and artifacts that are unique, pleasing or innovative.
The artifacts range from an iron lung to a lock of George Washington’s hair; from the horse collars of the world’s largest and smallest horses; from fuel rods from the 1950s nuclear reactor at Iowa State University to shoe making tools brought to Iowa in the 1870s.
