> The skin of the museum, designed to emulate a geologic formation, includes 700 pre-cast, custom molded concrete sections. The building features a 54-foot continuous-flow escalator contained in a 150-foot glass enclosed tube. This glass-enclosed escalator extends outside the building and provides unobstructed views of the museum and the city skyline. A large, urban plaza wrapped around the side of the facility accommodates cafe tables, seating, and three water features available for gatherings and public events.
It’s a great place to go if you have young kids. Parking is sometimes a pain, but it has some good exibits.

I didn’t like this when it first opened, but after living downtown for a few years I really appreciated how much it stood out. Most everything around it is just glass walls of new apartments and office buildings and then you have this cement monolith brutalist looking thing. The glass encasement on the outside you’re seeing is an escalator because the exhibits are on 5-6 different floors. It’s a pretty decent museum, I especially like the astronomy area.

The escalator looks like it’s there to abduct people from the lobby to experiment on…
