Interior, National Building Museum, Washington, DC, 2004.

Another of my favorite DC buildings is the National Building Museum, not far from the Mall. This unique museum showcases such things as architecture, building technologies and cultural phenomena, always beautifully and inventively displayed. One of my favorite exhibitions was a history of air-conditioning, in which the entrance was a huge sheet-metal duct. Another wonderful exhibition was a history of automobile travel in the United States, replete with a 1940s motel room, with all the amenities. Brilliant. Another great show was on "green" architecture, with a model of a very sophisticated modern modular home. If you like anything related to building, including a painting collection relating to tools, get thee to the NBM. 

NOTE: Please ignore the "Photography Not Permitted" sign in the photo. I got around this by not actually photographing in the exhibit.
