"This is a hidden gem of a museum. Both train displays along with the other exhibits are very cool and informative. The level of detail is just incredible. Allow yourself 1 1/2 hours to see everything, longer if you have children as they definitely will want to spent extra time with the interactive train exhibits."

"Great place to go explore. My daughter and I decided to check it out on a rainy Saturday. The museum is tucked away in the Devou Park. Not real easy to find but there are signs. But it is worth it. We had a great time checking out all the exhibits. The train display and the trolley car from Covington, KY were a couple favorites. If you like history, especially local history, you should definitely stop by for a visit.Great place to go explore. My daughter and I decided to check it out on a rainy Saturday.

"Loved this place! Lots of neat history bits woven into very fun, kid- friendly exhibits. The buttons for kids to push in the train exhibit, and the bubble to climb into and watch the train exhibit from inside were especially fun for our little guy."

Awards
Behringer-Crawford Museum received the Kentucky Historical Society's Education Award for its 2017 exhibit "Korea: The Forgotten War."
The exhibit, displayed at the museum from August 5 to October 1, 2017, honored thousands of Northern Kentuckians who served in the Korean conflict, an era wedged between World War II and the Vietnam War which got its "forgotten" designation because it received relatively little attention over the years. It featured recorded oral histories, diaries, letters, photographs and artifacts, including uniforms, dog tags and medals. More than 6,000 people viewed the exhibit, which was designed to preserve the memories of the veterans and pay tribute to their service.
The award was accepted by BCM Curator of Exhibits Jason French at the KHS annual meeting in Frankfort, KY, on November 9.
