Technology in Art

Yesterday we had the entire day to do whatever we wanted in Stockholm, Sweden. After taking a canal boat tour and observing the changing of the guards at the King's Palace with our entire group from Omaha, we split up and went our own ways. I headed for a long walk to the Moderna Museet which is the contemporary art museum. I spent four hours there and could have stayed longer if they didn't have to close.

I can't post pictures because cameras aren't allowed in the museum and the ones on the website are copyrighted, so I highly encourage you to check out the website.

There are two things I must mention here. First, the Salvidore Dali Meets Francesco Vezzoli exhibit was incredible. People were lined up four or five people deep and standing shoulder to shoulder at each of the more than 20 orignal Dali paintings.

Also, the former director of the museum, Pontus Hulten, had a great vision. In their study library they have these wall panels hanging up in a storage part. You can press a button on the computer and a machine will go and pull the "wall" out and bring it down from the storage and right to your feet. They have over 20 panels, each with 5 to 20 pieces on it.
