We went to see the Egret
......but were rewarded with so much more. Evelyn Burrows collection of porcelain may not be matched anywhere else on Earth. We originally went to see an Audobon exhibit and found this fine collection of porcelains from all over the world.

Small interesting museum
This is a collection of decorative items from Evelyn Burrow's collection. It includes porcelain, glass, pottery, and bronzes. The collection is worth over nine million dollars. Donny Wilson, a curator who worked with Mrs. Burrow, showed our group around the museum and gave history of many of the items. His discussion made the exhibit much more interesting. It takes an hour or two to view the items displayed. Space only allows exhibiting a fraction of the collection. There is no admission fee, and photography is allowed.
