It's a tradition here at Walkin' Man to see what sort of summer exhibit they do over at the National Building Museum. But don't pay for it.
So on July 5th I went over there. I had seen workers making the thing a couple weeks before, but it wasn't very impressive while under construction.
It's the
Icebergs exhibit.
Sixteen dollars to see what's behind the blue curtain. No way. I'm way too cheap for that. It looks cool and intriguing, but not $16 worth.
Let's go upstairs instead for free and see what we can.
Here we can see the tops of the icebergs poking through the "water." Those people looking around seem to be enjoying themselves. But so am I. And I didn't pay $16.
Like a real iceberg, I get the sense that most of the action is underneath the surface where we can't really see. What's going on down there?
I went back downstairs and stood right next to the mesh curtain. That close, you could see almost perfectly inside. Bean bag chairs, some slides, and a small snack bar. Cool.
