Covid restrictions required a different path than I usually take when I visit the Museum of Nature. The three remaining galleries I took the stairs to get to, and I'll actually be presenting them in reverse order of my actual visits (I like finishing this series with fossils). Down on the ground floor of the museum, where one can usually buy tickets (it was online when I visited), a large half sphere was set up with a reflection of the atrium above, including Gaia.
Nearby is a display panel identifying the artist behind both works hanging in the museum.
I took two shots of the stairs heading up from here.
And another view of Gaia, with Australia coming around. I'll share more takes on this for a theme day in April, which appropriately is about the Earth.
Out in the Queens Lantern I caught another look at the Moon.
I took shots of panels about the building itself before moving along to the next gallery.
The Moon large like that must be amazing to see in person.
ReplyDeleteLove big moons ! Unfortunately can't read anything of the texts you made a photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the stairs.
ReplyDeleteFacebook gave me a reminder-pic yesterday - we had our stuff packed to go to Perth, Australia 2019.
ReplyDeleteA rather sad pic for me, hence - we´d be on the way now, too. But I love the moon :-)
That first picture is very effective, giving a modern take on the traditional architecture.
ReplyDelete@Maywyn: it is.
ReplyDelete@Gattina: thank you.
@Jan: me too.
@Iris: hopefully next year.
@John: I thought so.
The museum has beautiful stairways and interesting to see the big moons.
ReplyDeleteLove that first photo. Creative!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful interiors!
ReplyDeleteI like these museum renditions very much.
ReplyDelete...I haven't ventured into a museum yet!
ReplyDeleteThat self portrait in the first shot is rather interesting...you behind the camera. I like that staircase...it immediately reminded me of being a school age girl for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful stairwell.
ReplyDeleteThey have really done a great job with the exhibits.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome display of Gaia and the Moon ~ creative photos
