Make a Play Date

If you've been in the Bloch Building recently and heard squeals and giggles, you were probably in the general vicinity of Resting Places Living Things: Designs by Michael Cross in the Contemporary Project Space.

The gallery contains a floor that has hills and valleys which this group was enjoying on a recent afternoon. In addition to the floor, there is a table with glass jars full of colored wires and light bulbs. There are tree branches on the walls that act as shelves and a table that has a pulse.

Even if you don't have kids, it is such a refreshing change to walk into a museum gallery where you are invited to touch and interact with the art.
