Walking into the Diorama Hall at Hastings Museum, it won't be the mounted animals or the tail of the prehistoric dinosaur that catches the eye this month.
Instead it will be the 36,000 brightly colored paper cranes hanging from the museum's light well.
The cranes were installed Tuesday and are on display through May 5 in association with Brain Injury Awareness Month, held every March.
"Our goal was to get 36,000 because that would be one for each person in Nebraska living with a disability from a brain injury," said Jacquie Cox, president of the board for the Brain Injury Association of Nebraska.
