The Nelson/Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri have the largest badminton shuttlecocks (or birdies) in the world... And here's a bunch more photos of this exhibit!

Great photo!!!

It's an awesome place to visit if you've never been. A very nice museum with Art and History (FREE admission! donations only) plus i believe they have a mummy now too :)

and lots of people enjoy picnics on the "Nelson Lawn" because it's Huge and the grass is thick and lush.

Also just across the street is the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and The Kansas City Art Institute. They also do Shakespeare in the Park in that neighborhood in the summer time
I saw Othello there a couple years ago... Very Good!

Now for a tough one.

Where is this?

[Mark Sedenquist]

Someplace where it snows....

I love that angle and composition for the photo.

... and Mark's astute spot of the melting snow suggests I probably am but ... this doesn't look like a permanent exhibition to me. Who would site a dinosaur where 90% of it was hidden?

There's something about the architecture of the building that says this could be San Diego Natural History Museum (although a Google of "snow in San Diego" suggests this is unlikely!)
