a larger city, but small enough to support annual events and
traditions with a small town atmosphere. Spokane was awarded the All-America
City Award by the National Civic League in 1974 and 2004. There are several
museums in the city, most notably the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, a
Smithsonian affiliate museum that houses a large collection of Native American
artifacts as well as regional and national traveling art exhibits. Located in

Elegance", the Museum is in a secluded setting a few blocks from the
center of downtown. The Mobius Science Center and the related Mobius Kid's
Museum in downtown Spokane seek to provide the public with new and innovative
ways to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math and allow youth
to explore science, culture, and the arts through a hands-on experience
