Prairiefire Natural History Museum - 4/27/2019

Our photo club had a field trip to the Prairiefire complex with the goal of photographing the Prairefire Natural History Museum.  The museum is part of the recreation, shopping and dining complex located in Overland Park, Kansas.  The museum opened in 2014.  The museum is the only building in the United States to use Dichroic Glass. The NASA-created glass accents the limestone structure. It creates one of the most beautiful building views we’ve seen.

Here is a link to the web page for the Prairiefire complex that you may find interesting:

Below is a photo taken inside the lobby.  The glass coatings don't look the same inside the building.

I particularly liked the combination of space age glass with the limestone of the Kansas prairie.  Every angle looks different and the color and intensity of the glass depends on the location of the sun.
