There Is A Fowl Odor In The Air

 

In Oklahoma City, there is an artist collective who have converted a 6000 sq. ft. building into an: 

“Oklahoma City based collaborative company creating immersive experiences that awaken wonder, build community, and make the world better” 

Impressive. There was a series of rooms, different styles, different feels.  The music was different in each room and helped you to immerse yourself even more into where you were at.  

They had a special exhibit called Doorways created by Amber Rae Black and Teddi Fokas. You walk into a circular dark room. Around the circle are about six/seven doors. You open one of the doors and there is a space about the size of a closet which is filled with fantastical scenes that range from a DIY time machine to a miniscule fairy closet. You really get sucked into the scene.

When you are done with the Doorways, you enter a room that is 'the icing on the cake'.  There was so much detail that everywhere you looked, you saw something new.

I was going to call this next museum the highlight of OKC, but that was before I had been to the Cowboy Museum and Factory Obscura. This museum had it's own charm though. Of course I'm talking about the American Pigeon Museum. I had been wanting to go here for years, but it has very limited hours and it never seemed to work out. This year was it – I made it to the museum.

Most people consider pigeons to be rats with wings. This museum was out to change your mind. They talked, of course, about the contributions that pigeons made to society from dinner plates, to Armed Forces couriers to Pigeon Races. What I found most fascinating was all the different types of pigeons. Did you know that there is a breed of pigeon that has curly feathers? After you finish all the exhibits, you can go out back and see some of the different pigeon breeds.

Pretty bird

He seems sure of himself

Check out his feet

Evidently there is even a Pigeon Olympics
