WWI Museum and Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank

Behind the monument tower is the Kansas City skyline.  You can take an elevator almost to the top and then 45 stairs, we passed.  The museum entrance is under the tower, this is an excellent museum and quite large, more than we expected.

                                                 Here's KC from behind the monument.

                                       I didn't want to use the flash so the pictures are dark. 
                               It was quite interesting and we learned quite a bit about WWI.

                            Across the street is the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, our next stop.

The gold bar is worth almost $591K, unfortunately I could not figure out how to get it out of the case.  We were not allowed to take pictures of the employees actually working with stacks and stacks and stacks of bills.  There were automated carts (names Huey and Dewy) moving between the rooms and a warehouse with racks and rack of pallets of bills.
