Indianapolis Children's Museum

2/8/2015

Well, I am a bit late to the party here, as this post should have been done around Thanksgiving time. However, I have been pretty busy with work and Hockey and such, so it just kept getting put on the back burner. So I guess brace yourselves for a lot of pictures.

Indianapolis seems to really have a lot going for it as a city. Pretty good sports teams (The Colts actually did well this year), a pretty vibrant downtown, and a good system of Museums. The Day after Thanksgiving (11/28/14), we decided to head up to the City to check out the Children's Museum.

I decided to take my little Fujifilm X-T1 with me, instead of the massive massive massive Nikon D4 so that I didn't have to deal with the bulk of the Nikon. I only took one lens, as well, the 23mm f/1.4, and I never really felt the need for a different one.

While being called the "Children's Museum" it is more of just an all around educational museum for everyone. You didn't have to be "escorted" by a child in order to get in, though the majority of people there were with children. 

For whatever reason, even though there were bright vibrant colors everywhere, a lot of the photos that I took lent themselves quite well to black and white. I think because, in addition to the colors, the museum really seemed to focus on nice shapes and lines, as well. But don't worry, they aren't all "super artsy" black and white.

One of the main features of the museum, for me, was the massive Chihuly Glass pillar that they had in an atrium in the center. I have always liked it, ever since I lived in the Seattle area and got to see a lot of his glass work around the city.

It baffles me how big this thing actually is. It is probably 50 feet tall, all of hand-blown glass fitted together pretty much perfectly. This is probably the one time that I wanted a slightly wider lens, but I didn't have my 14mm or 8mm fisheye at this point.

The museum had quite a good selection of exhibits, from one on China, a fairly large one about Dinosaurs, some smaller models and trains, to Ancient Egypt and Ancient China and how Archaeologists do their work. I'll just throw up a few pictures here instead of talking about each one. 

China and Dinosaurs! (Not the same exhibit)

Then they had a few smaller model towns with model trains, and a big train too!

The last couple rooms that we went through was pretty much madness, with water and plants and cranes and blocks and mirrors and everything like that.

And machines and water and cranes and stuff! This room was pretty much just pure madness.

All in all it was super interesting and I couldn't recommend it enough. And of course, one more shot of the glass pillar, for funsies.

Until next time, Indianapolis
