cooper-hewitt national design museum
i visited the cooper-hewitt national design museum late one afternoon. i was pretty exhausted.
the building is beautiful. it is an old house that was probably built in the late turn of the 1800s or early 1900s. And by house, i, of course, mean a house that is half a block.
the first exhibit was about an architect who also did some interior design work. it was really interesting. he was around during the mid 1700s. he loved the classics, greek and roman.
they had another exhibit about the engineering and design. it was pretty fascinating for an engineer. it had a lot of every day items (think folding chairs).
the final exhibit was a man who does innovated lighting. he was one of the first artists in over 30 years to still be alive while the cooper-hewitt does an exhibit. it really revolutionized how i look at light.
times visited: 1
time in the museum: 30 min (could have spent longer)
overall: B+
