    When I saw the pictures in the newspaper I didn't think the glass looked so very great. I mean it looked ok, and I know it took a long time to make and everything, I just don't think that's what I would have chosen to put in the museum.

    Sure the sculpture is modern and abstract in design. I'm pretty sure that this piece is the current museum President's "sacred cow" at the moment. However, it seems to be accomplishing one of the goals of the Museum: family learning. That is, families come to visit the Museum together, learn as a group and then take that learning home to talk about.

    I agree that I would probably have selected something else, possibly an old Mercury-Redstone rocket booster (I heard a rumor that one had been suggested at one time in the past). Now that would be cool.

    I would like to see some more pictures of it. It seems cool. Perhaps more fun to make than to look at though :-).

    Although it may be modern and abstract, I think it adds a colorful flair to the museum. Yes, there could be something more impressive (a historical object such as the one Michael mentioned, maybe), but it's better than whatever temporary exhibits they had in place previously.

    For those who have no clue what this sculpture is, here's a pic: http://www.childrensmuseum.org/themuseum/firewo...

    I'm sure Michael will have better pics soon!
