LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Frazier History Museum in Louisville has a new "finger lickin" good' exhibit.
Colonel Sanders himself is now part of the Tasty Kentucky section of the Cool Kentucky exhibition. The life-sized wax figure of Harland Sanders now greets visitors.
The wax figure once stood in the Louisville Visitor Center near 4th Street Live! Yum Brands gave the wax figure to the Frazier Museum.
The Cool Kentucky exhibit features items from all 120 counties in the commonwealth that are tied to notable personalities or locations.
Two of the largest items are the American Pearl — the motor-less and sail-less plywood boat with which Louisville's Tori Murden McClure became the first woman and first American to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1999 — and a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette C6 on loan from the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green.
Basketball plays prominently in the exhibit, with Kentucky Colonels uniforms and shoes from Dan Issel, Artis Gilmore, and Louie Dampier.
There is also a tree stump in which pioneer Daniel Boone allegedly carved his name.
Each section of the exhibit is organized around a particular theme. In any given section, visitors will find a number of notable objects, including clothes worn by Jack Harlow in his music videos, shoes that Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence wore on the red carpet and a horseshoe worn by Triple Crown champion Secretariat.
