    When we were in Paducah several years ago, we visited the museum. One of the exhibits that they had were quilts that were landscapes and portraits. Up close, they were incredible.
    They also have a nice gift shop.

    True, inside is off limits for pics. They did have a couple quilts in the lobby they
    were raffling off and i was allowed to take pics of them.
