Seattle- Glassblowing

While walking from the Experience Museum Project to downtown, we walked by a neat looking glassblowing studio. We stopped in to look at the store and found that there was glassblowing going on in the back.




Here are some videos that I got of the actual glassblowing.

Seattle- Experience Music Project

You probably thought I was done posting Seattle pics.....ha! not even close! I've just been busy at work.... and therefore lazy when I get home ;)

In the same building as the Science Fiction Museum is the Experience Music Project. It is a museum mixed with some interactive/learning rooms.

There was a room that went in chronological order of the history or guitars. It was awesome. Pardon the blurriness of my pics. It was a dark room and flash photos were prohibited.












This was Kurt Cobain's guitar from the Smell like Teen Spirit video. His band Nirvana was from Seattle.


This was Eric Clapton's guitar from "Layla".







A quick video of the entrance display. Some of the instruments had moving pieces that moved on their own.

Seattle-Science Fiction Museum

Right next to the Space Needle, are the Science Fiction Museum and the Experience Music Project (also a museum of sorts), both combined in one building and founded by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft). We started with the Science Fiction Museum which was pretty small, but had cool stuff.....

When I walked up to the building, I noticed a strikingly familiar architectural style. Sure enough, the building by designed by one of my favorite architects, Frank Gehry (see my LA, Disney Concert Hall posts).

The Industrial Designer side of me had to take these raygun pics....
