pacific science center
i was in seattle a few weeks ago to visit one of my really good friends, Jessica. she suggested that we go to the pacific science center to see their exhibit, the photography of modernist cuisine: the exhibition. our friends, priscilla and jen, joined us as well. it looks like the exhibit will be traveling after this to a few different cities in the united states and then potentially heading overseas.
the museum itself is made up of separate buildings and so we quickly headed over to the building that housed the special exhibit. the photography was pretty spectacular. it was photographed by the chef, Nathan Myhrvold, who i recognized from his appearances on top chef! his full cookbook costs $00+
the photographs were pretty spectacular. to a certain extent, i almost felt like we should have been visiting the art museum to view them. the preciseness of the images and showing how food looks in the process of cooking was so cool. it presented food in a whole new light. i loved his photographs of pots cut in half with the food cooking.
i was less than impressed with the rest of the museum. it seemed a little disorganized and not kept quite up-to-date or maintained. while we were there, they did have an exhibit of train sets. it was quite impressive how big some of these sets were! we were particularly impressed by a Playmobile set!
overall, the special exhibits were great, but a little more loving care could be given to some of the other exhibits.
