Today I visited the National Building Museum, a private, non-profit organization.
The exhibits occupied about ten percent of the building. The rest were halls for lectures and other activities.
The imposing, three-story atrium was being readied for a lavish fund-raising gala and was being draped in shades of arresting purple, imitating a huge circus tent, three stories high, in line with the leit-motif, “the cirque.”
It did not take long to exhaust the exhibits and the Lego construction room, show casing a few famous landmarks built to scale from hundreds of thousands of grey and clear Lego pieces.
