This is a model (not unlike my tiny house) of the Crystal Palace. It was the first structure to be made of strictly glass and steel that supported itself on columns and left the interior extrememly open. The inside was kind of like a conservatory and also had open market shopping. It sadly burned not long after it was erected and I can't remember why. Great info I know. I need to do some brushing up. But the coolest thing about this model is that they only built half of it and then displayed it next to a mirror so that when you look at it from this angle it looks whole. An great time saving idea especially for a procrastinator like me.
I love this one. It is kind of a blurry picture but it is just a frosted glass wall that has the steel supports printed onto it.
A very cool chair that looks like two chairs have been split in half and combined to make one.
I loved this display. They had an exhibit of 60's clothing but then had historical clothing timelines that led up to current trends.
