Shadow and Structure: the Design Museum of Holon

I'm a bit beyond, I really am.  Am starting to hallucinate balloons with smiley faces.  This could be because there IS a balloon with a smiley face that bobs around the back of the bloggo-bus - or, then again...maybe it's because I got about two hours' sleep last night and we have been non-stop all day.

'Bet you're having a lovely rest.'
'Cor, great to be on holiday.'
'Lucky you, lazing on the beach.' 

So say my emails...but, um, no....  we've done so much today I can't even remember how it started.  Anyhow...at one point I definitely remember that we went to the Design Museum in Holon.  This was designed by Ron Arad and was something I had really wanted to see.  It didn't disappoint.  So, you know what?  I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking while I go get into the shower before we head off out for dinner...

Fascinating stuff - just wish I could get my brain to talk to you about it....  maybe later.  :)

Wow-looks like I missed something awesome.

Intersting that the architect is named Ron Arad. Same name as a pilot who has been MIA since 1986.

Well, this is interesting. Sorry you're trying to go flat out on so little sleep. Hope you get more rest and, most important, stay healthy. Looks like a fab trip.

I love love museums. I love all museums. I love big, important museums and I love rinky-dink crackpot museums. They are the places where we put the things we think say something about who we are and where we came from, and where we are going; the things we think are important. And so they do say who we are, but not in the way we might have meant.
