Kansas City #8 - The Downtown Library and the "City of Tomorrow" Exhibit

[James Bond Agent 007]

So far we've had ...

Kansas City #1 - Downtown
Kansas City #2 - Quality Hill
Kansas City #3 - Beacon Hill
Kansas City #4 - The Plaza
Kansas City #5 - River Market
Kansas City #6 - Crossroads
Kansas City #7 - The Stadiums

This one is a bit different. Rather than show a neighborhood, instead this is a thread about a specific building - the downtown library. And more importantly, it's about the "City of Tomorrow" exhibit on the 5th floor. I think this deserves its own thread rather than putting it in another post in my downtown KC thread.

On the 5th floor of the downtown library, the hallways contain an exhibit showing some of the city planning maps, photos and documents of the mid-century period. It's pretty interesting, even if, like many, you think that era of planning was a disaster.

Anyway, I took these photos in early January but haven't gotten around to posting them until now.

Here's the front side of the library.



And the sign next to the front entrance advertising the exhibit. If this sign weren't there I never would have known of its existence.



Step inside the front door and this is what you see.
