We are proud to announce that the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum has partnered with World Flight 2027 to collaborate on the educational components of the project!
The Johnsons, like Amelia Earhart, were pioneers and explorers in their own field; the couple were pioneering wildlife photographers, filmmakers, and authors who visited exotic, far-off places such as Africa, Borneo, and the South Seas, documenting cultures and animals, some of which have since ceased to exist! Both Martin and Osa Johnson called Kansas home.
"Ranked the #1 Museum in Kansas and One of the Top Ten Historic Sites in the USA to Visit for Valentine's Day, the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum features world-class exhibits based on the stunning photography and cinematic works of the Johnsons, who pioneered the ideology "take only photos, leave only footprints." Since opening in 1961, we have been gifted vast collections of African, Oceanic, and Bornean cultural artifacts that add another dimension to our resources and allow us to share the stories of the peoples, places, and wildernesses Martin and Osa preserved on film in an unparalleled Visual History. The museum also features our Lizzie Le Blond collection, another pioneering woman in film and adventuring history. We are working to be a biographical museum for everyone that the Johnsons photographed or filmed! Come and relive the adventure for yourself!"
