It's a art installation at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

Glatt, I adore this thread.
I've looked back just to enjoy it, and realised I'd never told you.

I bet that's more people than the building museum has seen in a long time...

Sort of. They have functions there in the evenings fairly often. (Clearly not while this exhibit is set up.) The biggest ones are probably the Presidential inaugural balls. But the museum itself, with its exhibits, gets very few visitors.

These two cranes are going to do a choreographed dance in four hours or so with loud amplified music. I won't be here to see it, so pretend that this is a video and they are dancing, and you can hear music.

I went back to that giant ball pit with my good camera to get some better pictures.


Some people were not sure about jumping in.

Some people were just hanging out in the shallow end.

Most people were taking pictures with their phones.

And a few were just soaking in it.

And then two people showed up in shark costumes. They were a big hit.

As you can imagine, kids gravitated toward them and were tugging on their fins and punching them and stuff.

Library police???

You gotta be shitting me.

We need more cops.
We don't have the money.
Well find some money.
We've already raided ever budget but the Library.
Well?

The only thing I can think of is that the DC library has an enormous homeless population during the hours it is open. Maybe they feel they need more than just some security guards.

Shouldn't the vehicle markings say:

EMERGENCY
