We'll have to let the crowds thin out some before we trek down there.
I think this is so cool looking. I wonder if the builder asked the architect half way through the project, "Where's the escalator?", and he replied, "Gee, I dunno.....just strap it there to the outside somewhere." Haha!
Most of the couple hundred million dollar price tag was covered by Ross Perot's kids, the museum being a tribute to their dad. (They probably brown-bagged it for a week and donated their lunch money.) That's Daddy Ross third from the left.
He's never been photographed wearing anything besides a dark suit, white dress shirt and tie. For once I'd love to see him wear something else, like maybe a Hawaiian print shirt or some sweats.
The museum will fit in well with some of Dallas' other "unusual" architectural features....
As someone who appreciates eclectic architecture there is one other building that has always intrigued me that I wish was here....
The "Twisted Torso" in Malmo, Sweden. I wonder which came first, this or the Rubik's Cube?

I saw in the news this morning that more banks are agreeing to pay fines to the Gubment for their wrongdoing and more bankers are under investigation for various illegal acts, too. But here's what gets me: Instead of being banished to some far-off place in disgrace, these crooks just leave the firm where they were caught and move down the street to another bank and given an even better position and more money. These banks just play musical chairs with their top felons. Whoever said "crime doesn't pay" obviously wasn't a banker.
Another Monday. Let the games begin. ;)
