The Steele Model Pavilion is where the Nick Scandone Exhibit and model ships are kept. Of the three, this one is my favorite because of the exhibits and it has the best view. Steve Grohl was an Olympic Athlete who participated in the Paralympics 2008. He was a sailor for the games and took home the Gold Medal for sailing. The theme of this exhibit is: If you can dream it, you can live it". The exhibit allows for kids to make this concept come alive by allowing the kids to write their dreams on sails (this got a bit out of hand, as the kids started writing on the curtains).
Working the desk was not particularly exciting until the boss comes in and tells me that some important people are coming to this gallery today for ????? (that wasn't explained exactly). I had to be extra sharp today to make a good impression. No problem except that these people were in the middle of a scavenger hunt and the museum was the last stop. I was not expecting a bunch of people in Hawaiian shirts to come walking in.
This was a big deal for the museum and everything went smoothly but that was not MY highlight for the day. the boss gave me the remote to the bubble machine. It was located on top of the entrance and it was supposed to make the scavenger hunt more entertaining but the bubble machine attracted a different audience. When the bubbles came on, all the kids in the area got really excited and tried to catch them all!
The bubble machine made everyone's day a bit better from kids to old folk to gallery attendants.
On a side note, new personal record for donations... $15
