Kansas Is Flatter Than a Pancake Exhibit
Coronado Museum,
Liberal, Kansas

The Seward County Historical Society and Coronado Museum, Liberal, has a temporary exhibit open for viewing in August.

Kansas Is Flatter Than a Pancake is the name of the exhibit, featuring a topological model of Kansas. The model was created and donated to the museum by Allan McCollum, an artist from New York. This model was used in connection with an exhibition at a Kansas City gallery called Grandarts.

While driving across the American Midwest, it is common to hear travelers remark, This state is as flat as a pancake. This obvious question how flat is a pancake spurned three college students analytical interest, and they immediately set out to find the flatness of both a pancake and one particular state: Kansas.

Visit the Coronado Museum, 567 Cedar in Liberal, or telephone 620/624-7624 for details. Admission to the exhibits is free.
