So today we went to the Experience the music project and Science fiction Museum. It was super cool! Not only is the building beautiful and designed by Frank Gehry (love his metal goodness) of Disney Concert Hall fame, but the kids totally loved it. Lots of really interactive kid stuff with a large quantity of cool adult stuff.
Here is one of the cool adult things. For those of you who love the recently deceased Michael Jackson, here is his original diamond glove and shiny jacket. Totally awesome 80's pop goodness. They were doing a tribute to him and showed a concert of him wearing the glove and jacket--- singing Billy Jean. IT WAS GOOD!
They have a ton of interactive instruments with kid friendly tutorials that show the kids how to play. Here are Sammy and Jake both taking their turns on the drums. They loved it!
They also had this cool Jim Hensen exhibit. The kids loved seeing the original muppets and Sesame Street characters. They had a cool theatre there too with muppets that the kids could play with while the audiance watched. Very fun.
My kids love Fraggle Rock, so here they are with some of those puppets.
This is a monter fur wall. It was one of 4 or 5 walls covered with fur. The kids had to feel each one. I'm sure they contracted several deseases from this, but what are you gonna do.
The Sci-Fi protion was fun for everyone too. They had a bunch of Star Trek and Star Wars stuff. David was getting totally geeky with it. This is everyone with the original robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still. David was lovin' this stuff!
We all were excited to see R2-D2. It was definitely a fun family event! We're gonna have to take Chris here if he comes to visit. He's gonna love it!
