Collecting
History
Archeologist Leonard Woolley
discovered what is considered to be the
world’s oldest museum—a collection of
artifacts gathered by Princess Ennigaldi
around 530 BC in her Babylonian
palace, neatly organized and labeled
with dates and places of origin.
In the modern era, the Capitoline
Museum in Rome dates to
1471, housing a collection of
public art. The Royal Armouries
in the Tower of London are the
world’s oldest visitor attraction,
opening to the public in 1660.

The Kansas City Police Historical Society
in Kansas City, Missouri, was founded
in October 2004 as a grassroots effort
to preserve the history of the Kansas
City Police Department. One of the
department’s more memorable icons is
its bronze monument, sculpted in 1920,
depicting a police officer holding a child.
The historical society worked with AIA/
Branding Stop in Lenexa, Kansas, to create
11-inch resin replicas to be sold as part of
the group’s ongoing fundraising efforts.
“This was a unique project,” says Jim
Peterson, vice president of strategic
development for Branding Stop. “The goal
of the project was to develop a lasting, true-
to-life memento for the Kansas City police
officers and loved ones who lost a member
of the department in the line of duty.”
Peterson says the project took roughly
three months to complete. The most
challenging aspect, he says, was producing
the item at a price point that would allow
the client to offer the statue replicas for sale
at a reasonable cost to the end buyer that
would still offset the price of production.
In the end, says Peterson, the replicas
have been well received. “Everyone who has
purchased the statues has told the historical
society howmuch they enjoy owning such a
high-quality product that truly captures the
essence of the actual statue.”
