What can I do in the Main Gallery?

The Main Gallery is where you can learn all kinds of things about the Great Plains. How did the Wichita Mountains get here?  Why are there fossils of sea creatures? Who were the Kiowa Five? What's the Tingley Collection? Who is Howard Council? Is that a printing press? What's a check valve? Keep in mind:  ​
  • If you DO want to read everything so you can impress (or bore) your friends and enemies alike, we've got you covered.  
  • If you want to make something out of pipe cleaners, Scotch tape, and batteries, we've got you covered.  
  • If you're 2 years old, 12 years old, 21 years old, or 121 years old--or anywhere in that range--we've got you covered. Bring it.  
  • If you just want to have fun and you DON'T want to read anything, we've got you covered.
