The last of the NMAI photos. The second one seems particularly appropriate as a farewell photo.

NMAI Learning Center Photoblogging
Alas, I am almost done with the NMAI photos. These are from the museum’s learning center, with computers and audiotapes and reference materials and that sort of thing.

I have to admit, I found the subjects of the first two photos rather surprising. The U.S. has not exactly given the American Indians a whole lot of cause for patriotism, ya know? The third photo is just a partition thing that I liked ‘cuz it was green.

Some of the more whimsical exhibits from the National Museum of the American Indian:
This crab is clearly wondering just how he ended up inside a museum.
That’s a nasty habit – his mother would not approve.
Motherhood.
Fatherhood.

Some actual exhibits from NMAI:
I think this is most likely an Inuit hunter, but I’m not entirely sure.
Nifty medallion, which I believe is contemporary.
Baby seal! With a miniature Man Vs. Polar Bear fight scene in the foreground.
Tire Walrus! And his good friend, Polka-Dot Spoon Walrus.

I actually did take a whole bunch of photos of the exterior of the National Museum of the American Indian, but was generally pretty disappointed with them. Here are a couple of the less disappointing ones:

Yes, even their conference rooms are photogenic…
Part of the conference room ceiling.
I’m not actually 100% sure this was actually in the conference room, but it was definitely on the ceiling.
A different but similar part of the conference room ceiling…
Definitely not the conference room at all.

Some more pics from NMAI, to be followed by a brief Air & Space interlude:
Maybe if I don’t look at The Hypnotic Vortex Of Doom directly…
No… can’t help myself… it is… too strong…
I think I’ll just go outside and contemplate for a little while.

As promised, here is the first batch of photos from the National Museum of the American Indian, in DC:
I really dig the concentric circle pattern of the ceiling.
Everyone looks like ants when you have an ultra-wide-angle lens…
It’s a bit Guggenheimish, really. On the inside, at least.
