Monday I visited this museum, located in Long Beach, Washington. Long Beach is a very small beach town located in extreme southwestern Washington which has the honor of hosting the Washington State International Kite Festival each year (the 2018 edition is being held for 7 days starting next Monday, August 20).
Before we go up to the second floor to look at the kites, there were several interesting things to see on the ground floor of the museum.
A local stamp collector put together a group of stamps from around the world which had images of kites on them – and there were lots of them. Stamps from other countries are often very elaborate and very colorful. I thought this was a very clever idea. Here are some of my favorites:
Next is a series of posters celebrating festivals from previous years. First, here is the poster for the upcoming festival, the 38th annual:

And finally, there was a large video screen running a series of high definition videos of kite flying in action:
