In a little gallery around the corner from one of my sisters, 450 stuffed penguins are on display in an interactive exhibit.
Yes, interactive stuffed penguins. Yes, 450 of them. I did not typo. You apparently walk into this room and make movements, and all of these penguins swivel as you move. They’re essentially doing The Wave, only without beach balls and not at a baseball game where people are trying to watch the game. Here, click this picture to see what I’m talking about:
Is that not the MOST AMAZING THING EVER?! OK, so I might be a bit biased because I am a big fan of penguins. But, really, isn’t that cool???
What’s killing me is that this exhibit is, quite literally, around the corner from my sister’s apartment but it’s only running through July 1. I currently have plans to be there this fall, a mere four months too late. Sad panda! Or penguin.
If you’re interested, here’s the museum, here’s info about the penguin exhibit, and here is the blog post where I heard about the penguin exhibit.
Um, AMAZING. Let’s buy this and install it in the condo.
