Museum Mecca

DC is a museum mecca. Our first stop was the Building Museum, an old building that has been converted to a beautiful tribute to the building trades.

We went to view a Lego exhibit of such famous structures as the Hancock Building in Chicago, the Pyramid of San Francisco the St. Louis Arch and Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright.




Anna Lee, Jeff, Cheryl and Dave enjoyed exercising their creative side by seeing what they could build with the supply of Legos that were available at the exhibit.

Next we headed down the street to the Smithsonian American Art Museum to see joint Norman Rockwell collections owned by Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas (pictures not allowed). We had visited the Rockwell Museum in the Berkshires in 2009 and were pleased to enjoy his charming and thoughtful illustrations again.
