Martin & Osa Johnson Safari Museum
111 North Lincoln, Chanute, Kansas 66720, (316) 431-2730 - Conrad G.
Froehlich, Director Barbara Henshall, Curator
Located in an old railroad station, this is a great museum that preserves
the memory, achievements and artifacts of a truly remarkable couple. As
photographers, explorers and naturalists, the Johnsons from 1917 to 1936
sought out the tribal man in Africa, Borneo and the South Seas. The legacy
they left is astonishing -- over ten thousand photographs, a huge film
library and a considerable collection of fine tribal artifacts. The museum
has continued to build on this foundation adding, over the years the Stott
Explorers Library which has some ten thousand books, journals, and manuscripts
specialising in early African exploration, ornithology and primatology
as well as the Imperato African Art Gallery which boasts a fine collection
of West African artifacts.
The Martin & Osa Johnson Safari Museum may be a little off
the beaten path but it is a very unique resource and well worth a visit.
