Guggenheim

Made a trip to the Guggenheim designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for a special boy's birthday. An art gallery in a spiral is an interesting concept. And "Guggenheim" is fun to say!

Do you think anyone ever called ol' Sol Guggenheim "Guggie"?

American Museum of Natural History

 

It was nice to see the Museum again.  I was last there 9 years ago.  Non-flash photography is difficult but the dinosaurs had the best light.

 

 

 

There were several groups of school kids and some of the rooms magnified the sounds of lots of excited kids.

 

Really seeing the sizes of some of the dinosaurs is amazing.  There were also stories of the changing ideas about various species due to continuing research.

 

And I think that some of the science fiction movie makers must have gotten ideas from the various creatures and cultures portrayed in the museum because they are oddly familiar!
