...and bringing you jetlagged goods from the city of smog (L to the A)
Above are pictures from a curious place we visited called the Museum of Jurassic Technology, yet another point of interest introduced into our circle by the generous Carnegie Mellon tutors.
This amateur museum (which is really just a converted house on a Culver City street) deals with odd collections and displays in ways that leave you questioning "Are you for real?".
There was a whole room full of model trailerparks. And another room full of old stereoscope technology. Exhibits also had accompanying writing, which is where things started to get weird. Each room then tended to lead to another room which then led to another. It's set out very much like a maze to further disorientate, removing logic and sensibility from the minds of those who enter
But the best part was the way they used tricks of light and mirrors to create, not only a beautiful aesthetic, but a layered atmosphere. One which you could easily get lost in for hours on end.
They have a gift store to die for and on top of that, they serve free tea and bikkies upstairs in the tranquil tearoom. Then pop next door to the Center for Land Use Interpretation and see what they have exhibiting as well.
Visit this place you must
