crafty_packrat: Grommit knitting intarsia (Grommit)
I went with [personal profile] greenygal and [profile] hollimichele to the DAR museum to see An Agreeable Tyrant: Fashion After the Revolution and then to the Building Museum for Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse, with lunch from food trucks in-between. We also chatted with a hipster who'd just moved from Seattle about what museum and free cultural events he needed to see, because we are theater nerds as well as museum and SF nerds.

The DAR museum exhibits were set up in all of their standing 'rooms', which means they were scattered over the back of the building, on several different floors. However, the museum is free, the elevators work, and we got to peek into the DAR library, so it was a lot of fun. Also, they have dollhouse at the DAR museum too.

At the Building Museum, I went through the exhibits District II, Timber City (and I want to learn more about high timber construction), and House & Home, which was fascinating since one half of it was on the history of building techniques, from adobe and post & grit all the way through structural insulated panel techniques.
