Visit Notes

I visited the museum on November 1st, 2015. Here are some of my notes from that first experience.

Outdoor and Checkin

  • Awesome!! Huge ceilings, modern and clean.
  • Display w hanging garden-type lush plants. Slowly dripping huge columns of vegetation a nice contrast to stark concrete and metal building.
  • Construction outside due to other museum renovation.

Front Desk

  • 4 attendants and nobody in line (Sunday 13:10). I was welcomed.
  • No formal bag check? Or lockers. Asked me to check my backpack and gave me a pickup slip. Can’t remember the last time (ever?) that the museum person who gave me admission ALSO checked my bag. Cool!

Free Guided Tour at 2:30pm

  • Asking for questions and prep for interaction.
  • Talked about the Donor Wall and who gave how much etc.
  • Started with a big group and went outside to talk about how Bulding was made (Swiss architects from Basel).
