Pittsburgh Trip part 3: Children's Museum

Well that's a pretty entrance.

What?!?!
Oh my nerdness....
It's a Death Star made from an old Jeep Wagoneer.
There is a solar panel on the other side.
What for?
I don't know but it's a promising addition to this wonder sphere!


                                                                             
 Josh and Isabella working on their printmaking.

I believe the building the Children's Museum is in was the former Post Office.
It has a domed roof and they have these plastic streamers hanging.
Sort of odd but ends up being really beautiful when you look straight up.


Kora thought this was pretty neat.

Mr. Roger's Nighborhood section.
This ended up being Isabella's favorite spot even though she has only seen the show a handful of times.

 Look at all the puppets!!!
Yeah, I was a bit "star struck" if you will. 

Henrietta Pussycat!! Daniel Striped Tiger that lives in a timeless clock!!
 
It looks like Han Solo being frozen in carbonite.

This is under the staircase and sort of hidden.
Oh my goodness!!!
A flippin' Mystic from The Dark Crystal.
This elicits a response of either, "What's a Mystic?" or "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Holy Mackerel it's a Mystic from The Dark Crystal!!!!!!!!".
I'm clearly the latter. 

Artsy fartsy fun.

I was looking for a photo of Henrietta Pussycat. The Children's Museum looks like a neat place to visit if I'm ever in Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing.
