Omaha’s Durham Museum is in the 1930-vintage art deco railroad station. Quite the building and a considerably interesting museum inside. I was thoroughly taken by the statues throughout depicting life-in-action at the station at various periods of time. There was a traveling exhibit there this day of Pulitzer Prize winning photos. Fascinating. And a real soda fountain with real hot fudge sundaes, which we had to try. All my photos are here.
