Museo de los Niños

Today for our last day of class we turned in a paper, and then headed straight over to the Childrens Museum about 200 yards from the school. The place used to be an old prison, so it was very interesting keeping that in mind during our tour. But I'm pretty sure that childrens museums are by far the best on this planet, and that all other kinds should try to change their ways to be more like them. You know, for the sake of the kids....not me. There were so many things to do that I can't even begin to list them, but some of the things not included in the photos was an earthquake simulater(did that more than a few times), giant piano keys on the floor of a room, a newsroom where we were filmed and then they edited it and we watched ourselves, a mic room where we sang and then could hear it played back, cool electricity and magnet demos, and much more than I can remember.

Itty bitty room of mirrors. I loved it. It looked like there were hundreds of the two of us sqeezed into a tiny space.
This is the hallway where you start. The neon light sequence on the ceiling was sweet.
Hott.
They had this enclosed setup of masks. Kinda creepy actually.
This was too funny. When you sqeezed that little black thing just behind his butt, liquid went through the piping...how would you like to be the model for that photo?

In this hallway there were pictures on the wall comparing what different parts of the museum looked like now compared to before they began rebuilding.
We spent a good 20 minutes or so taking turns messing around with this mirror combo thing.
She's floating!
Inside a giant mouth. There were larger than life sized toothbrushes and toothpaste sculptures behind me. And yes, that dark brown swinging thing is in fact a giant tonsel.
Josh is the next Michael Jackson.

Banana's licking me.

There were all kinds of animals, bugs and dinasaurs made out of scrap metal.
