It was kind of funny, you could hear the techno music everywhere in the museum, which gave the modern art section an appropriately Euro feel; but it didn't quite mesh with the pre-20th century exhibits, the African masks, or a bunch of other wings. But the whole affair was really cool. I like it when people are out and about in a city.

From the Mixed-Up Files of ...
Was at the Seattle Art Museum from 2-4 am, for part of the "35 hour marathon" for the Grand Reopening. The whole museum was free, provided you had a ticket, and from 1am onwards there was a DJ and a dancefloor, there were drinks and food during legal serving hours, and the gift shops were open. A pretty good move on the Museum's part -- I've never seen that many people under 40 in an art museum before.
