Kite Museum

The Kite Museum was one man's collection over a period of 40 years. He built the Museum to show his collection and love of kites.  Some of the kites were over a 100 years old, and all of them had been flown at some time.  

All the kites were very unusual, and hand made.  Bob was allowed by the son of the owner of the collection to take only 5 pictures.  This kite was a hawk carrying its prey, which looked like a cat.

This kite was a group of 5 warriors on their horses.  You can see the strings connecting the warriors to fly in the sky together.  These are hand made and hand painted with great detail.  To the right is a noise maker that could be attached to your kite to make noise and send signals.

We have since learned that the Chinese
invented kites some 2400 years ago.
