CIA Spy Museum
12/29/2003 11:50 PMCIA Museum Showcases Exotic Spy Gadgets. Spy
satellites, anti-rocket laser cannons — you know the
drill.
Besides the jungle transmitter, the exhibits include a
robotic catfish, a remote-controlled dragonfly and a camera strapped
to the chests of pigeons and released over enemy targets in the 1970s.
The secret gadgets currently used by CIA are left to the imagination
of visitors.
I wonder how this compares to the Intern
ational Spy Museum.

'The museum was founded in 1882 when objects of local interest began
to gather in the field where the museum now stands, due to the natural
action of the wind and rain. '
'In 1886, visionary Whoft
philanthropist, Manimal MacCorkindale proposed building some walls
around the objects, forming Framley's first museum.
A door fitted in 1932 cemented the museum's popularity.'

Music Museum to Get Wi-Fi
Music Museum to Get Wi-Fi
12/08/2003 04:45 PMI wrote a story for the Seattle Times about a planned wireless network
at the Experience Music Project: The rock museum, built by Paul Allen,
plans to offer the network to visitors but also use it for a variety
of internal functions. One plan is to use the network to stream audio
and video to handheld devices that visitors can carry around through
the exhibits. I'm not sure I did a very good job of conveying how
interesting this project is. For those of you who aren't familiar with
the EMP or haven't seen pictures, it's a Frank Gehry building that
looks like a bunch of colorful lumps glued together. I would imagine
that building a wireless network there would be a nightmare, given the
structure doesn't have a single right angle. I'll be interested to
check back with the folks at EMP in a couple of months when more of
the network should be in place to hear about the experience. Then I'd
like to check in again next summer to see how many of the ambitious
applications are actually in place....
Chicago Museum to Get Wi-Fi
Chicago Museum to Get Wi-Fi
08/27/2004 01:30 PMThe very cool Field Museum in Chicago will get a Wi-Fi network, built
by Concourse: Most users will pay a "nominal" fee to access the
network, but Chicago Public School kids and their teachers will get
free access. The museum also envisions using the network to offer
interactive exhibits in the future. The Experience Music Project, Paul
Allen's music museum in Seattle, also built a Wi-Fi network in its
space recently. The networks sound useful internally for museum
workers as much as for an extra service for visitors. I'm not sure how
willing or interested I would be in paying to access a Wi-Fi network
in a museum after I've already paid an entrance fee. But the networks
would offer a great conduit for delivering content about exhibits to
handheld devices as part of the regular museum experience. The EMP has
a bar and restaurant that people can visit without paying an entrance
fee to the museum so those users might be interested in paying to use
the network....

LinkThe renovated Museum of Modern Art
The renovated Museum of Modern Art
03/17/2005 03:24 AMFour of us arrived at the Museum of Modern Art this morning at
10:15 am, placing us about 1000th in line. The place was closed
for a few years while $858 million was pumped in for renovation and
expansion. Before the renovation MoMA was white walls, bright
lights, crushing crowds, one amazing painting out of every 20, $10 to
get in. After the near $1 billion project? White walls,
bright lights, crushing crowds, one amazing painting out of every
20... $20 to get in. We made it into the museum by 11:15 but
claustrophobia made us all anxious to leave by 12:15. One
native Manhattanite said that it was the most crowded place
he had been inside during the preceding 12 months.
Personal favorite exhibit: Bell 47 helicopter, as seen in the
TV show MASH, hanging near some open stairs. Strangest
architectural detail: glass half-walls throughout the museum
topped with strips of stainless steel. These are apparently too
fragile for anyone to touch but because MoMA most resembles the line
for Space Mountain at Disneyland it is hard for people to avoid
putting their hands on these rails. this necessitates the museum
keeping dozens of security guards busy at all times walking around
telling people not to touch the rails.
[Tip for tourists: If you can plan at least one day ahead you
can buy timed tickets on the MoMA Web site and avoid waiting on
line in the cold.]

The
NYT covers the unveiling of the
Computer History Museum in
its new Silicon Valley home. I caught some of its treasures on
display at Boston's Computer Museum, but the new version "is offering
the first chance for the public to view of the 5,000 computer
artifacts in its new home." I still recall meandering through that
massive Cray with accompanying picture of its hayday, lovlingly
attended by smartly dressed attendents resembling the "stewards and
stewardesses" on airlines of old.

interesting inventions, like this water fountain that squirts water
