Thanks for your kind comments James! I’m glad you had a great experience at the museum. Also, thanks for being a regular commenter here (what is it two now?). Hopefully you will inspire others!

I was there. I loved it! I was visiting with my dad and my son — ages ranging from 70+ to 2 1/2 and they both loved it! Me right smack in between, on the cusp of 40, found it pleasant, soothing and informative…

also loved to learn overheardatthemuseum that the Campbell’s Soup Can’s round medal “seal” on the front memorializes the SF World’s Fair:

“…Campbell’s, a 136-year-old company that still carries the gold award label it won for quality at the 1900 World’s Fair, is the largest manufacturer of soup in the world.”

…you can see the recently renovated Botanical garden building front and center.

I think the cell phone trivia game encouraged the overheard and anecdotal sharing amongst visitors. well done on all fronts, chris alexander!
