the white house and hirshorn museum

Don't mind the unclear White House pics. It was very rainy that day.

While in DC we visited the White House and Hirshorn Museum. The Hirshorn has three floors filled with exhibits. Each exhibit appeals to your senses. Sight, sound and touch were the most appealing. I loved the sight and the boyfriend loved the light exhibit most.

There was a blue plastic string piece, you walk thru it, and as others are too you get smacked in the face with the stings. I was not excited about it.

In the light exhibit were many scultures that incorporated neon lights. One that was the boyfriend's favorite was the room of lights. You walk thru and each room has a different color. In each room is either heated or cool depending on the light. Kinda interesting.

In the sight exhibit were paintings and sculptures to look at. Nothing too wierd. However there is this box! You look at it in different sides. Each side has a different effect of reflection. For instance, one side you look you are standing in the box and another side you are fading. Kinda like magic mirrors in a carnival.

Hope you are enjoying these pics of DC cause we sure had a good time taking them ^_^
