I was in Washington DC recently, the ne plus ultra of institutional architecture. Even the fast food restaurants have neo-classical facades. I went to the National Gallery and saw a Roy Lichetenstein retrospective. Whaam! Now I remember, I don't like Roy Lichtenstein.
So I went to the Smithsonian and gazed at Davey Crockett's hat instead. At least, I think it was Davey Crockett's hat. There's every possibility that it was actually a stuffed beaver and I was in the Natural History Museum by mistake. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference when all the buildings look the same.
When I was in D.C. my first thought was that I had somehow stumbled into a gigantic cemetery. It has more monuments to the dead, than any other place I know. The Capital Building being the largest...
As for the Smithsonian, it had some nifty parts, but too much of it made me think that it was being run by hoarders. To say nothing of the smell, like mothballs, in the Natural History Museum. It is truly America's greatest junk shop.
