Skirball Museum Comics Exibit - August 2009
Here’s a few pics from the comics exhibit at the Skirball. It was mostly Golden Age stuff. The start of comics, how that adapted to rapidly changing world. As such, it mostly focused on DC comics.
Sorry I don’t have more pictures, my camera battery died =(
There was another room that focused on Comic book movies, but we weren’t allowed to take any pictures there. Odd since everything there had been seen before on the big screen.
THey also had a fun ongoing Noah’s Ark exhibit.
All the animals from the Noah’s Ark Exhibit were made from recycled materials further promoting the fragile state our land is in. When you visit the exhibit you are placed in a room where the Noah’s ark story is told to you, they hand out rain makers to the children so they can reinact the noise of the 40 days and 40 nights of rain. We then walked into the exhibit itself, as pictured above they made a large (not quite life size) model of the Ark which is amazing to think about all those animals in such a tight space. The had various stations where you can ‘make it rain’, float a boat, and even clean up animal droppings (why the kids had so much fun with that I’ll never know). We left before the concert in the ampitheatre but overall it was very fun and very educational. I highly recommend it, especially for those with young children.
