Perot Museum of Nature & Science: Update

November 7, 2011 by Bob Borson 27 Comments

Perot Museum of Nature & Science East

Last week I decided to take my lunch break downtown while walking around the Morphosis designed Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The project appears to be coming along very nicely and scheduled to open in early 2013.

I was limited to walking the perimeter taking my photos despite several invitations from people associated with the project offering a tour of the interior. The short version is that despite everyone on the team being very nice and generous with their time, they don’t want people like me walking around the interior taking pictures.

Before people figure it out for themselves, yes, I took this picture from my car as I drove by on the freeway. In my defense, I just pointed the lens out the window and took the pictures as I went by, hoping that one would be usable. Since I have a picture here, I’d say I got one.
