Well maintained structure and impressive.
Entrance to the building is marvelous. High beaming structure with high ethical and engineering knowledge. Fitting to its name the museum is a source of knowledge throwing developments in science and art.
Impressive pieces are the train prototypes . Steam engine, rocket as it is called is astonishing. Food courts , entertainment centers are all very attractive and neat.
I like the museum.
The Hispanic guy at the front desk would not allow my friend in to use the bathroom when we had an event there. Mind you, the walk up the steps is breathtaking -- literally. He did allow others from our group to walk right on by, but I guess he got annoyed when it was our turn. He made us go on an adventure to find a bathroom on the lower level that we never found. It was extremely hot that day.
Overall, the museum has beautiful art with various exhibits. The view at the top is amazing (and figuratively breathtaking). By the way, Wednesdays are pay-as-you-wish days.
If you have a chance to attend of the of special exhibits, don’t miss the opportunity. The curators and their teams always present not only stunning art but an memorable experience. My spouse and I consider going to an exhibit like a “day date”.
One of the best museums in America. The structure and its history is amazing and their collection - suburb. I’ve been a member for years and regularly do the guided tour. The guides are always so informed and charming.
Upon arriving I saw a poster advertising a piece of artwork by Marcel Duchamp, The Fountain. I went into the men’s restroom and saw what must have been more in his series, two urinals side by side. I actually got to use one. Wow, how exciting! Then I went to see the other exhibits, all which are wonderful. I never did go see Marcel’s piece that was advertised. But now I’m aware of his genius work all over the country. Only a genius could do this knowing you can’t fix stupid.
So much to see and do. We went on a pay as you wish day. There were fun interactive activities for the kids as well as a live musical performance. Kids also had fun running up the "Rocky" steps! Enjoyed it so much we will be back after the holidays. Enjoyed a snack in the cafe, little pricey but not outrageous. Really appreciated the diverse mediums. Highly recommend.
Thank you @PMA, for taking such pride in what you do and keeping me a proud member!
