Last Thursday I had the chance to visit the MOHAI in Seattle...let me tell you that it was such an experience. First, I we took the bus 73 to get there and it was an amazing experience to see the way , we passed over a big bridge which crosses from one part to another, close to that bridge there's a station of water airplanes, watching them was really nice, because I had never had the chance to see one of those.
Reaching there was amazing, because we passed a place where there were boats and I met an Alaskan guy, who showed me how to paint a boat after they made it with wood, interesting! Isn't is?
In the entrance there's a big bell which is really beautiful. Then when I got to that place there were lots of amazing stuff there. One of my favorite sections was the one to remember the WW II, which by the way made me realize this place used to be a shooting place; the most interesting part In this section was the one in which there is a special "survivor atomic bomb kit" where you can see big cans that contain special stuff in order to survive an atomic bomb explosion, i.e. oxygen masks, food, instructions to protect yourself against gases, etc.
Also there's a machine that was used to do cans, and there's a special add that says " Can what you can", which by the way I really loved because there was the beginning of food in containers, there are cans of milk, veggies and fruit.
One of the things I liked the most was the music section, where you can see the Nirvana's award for their platinum disc and the playlist of the las show they performed here in Seattle and that was written in hand by David Grol, there's a ball that has the name of Pearl Jam and they also mention hi I Hendrix and some other singers and bands that are important and were born in this town, for example, Modest Mouse, which in fact I like.
The small theatre shows a presentation about how Seattle got burnt and borne from the ashes, which since my point of view it's an amazing fact of this place.
The Bezos' section, which by the way is dedicated to technology and how it improves our everyday life is really interesting and it was more exciting for me to know that Bezos is the founder of Amazon.
At the end a I visited the surroundings of this place, where you can find some boat, the one I liked the most was one of the oldest, which was painted in green and is 124 years old.
After that we took the light train and went to visit SAM which was nice, but ai didn't liked a lot because I think there should be more art not just pop art, even though there are many things to see.
I ended up the trip by eating taco in "la vaca", which by they way were really far from the real tacos we have in Mexico.
Hi Claudia!
ResponderEliminarReading your blog, i can see you're really enjoying the experience. It's really nice to see that. I loved the Bezo's Innovation Center, but i didn't notice that he's the founder of Amazon, so i have to say thanks for shared that.
Greetings!
