Seattle is an amazing, picturesque and ecologically clean city in the United States that can amaze anyone with an abundance of its attractions.
For example, Seattle is home to the world's largest private Air and Space Museum. The exposition includes old aircraft, military aircraft, and space ships. The institution operates at King County International Airport, better known as Boeing Field. A unique feature of the museum is an interactive simulation of the operation of an air traffic control center. Other exclusive exhibits include a replica of the Lockheed Electra aircraft, a World War I fighter, and the French Concorde.
Yachting enthusiasts often visit the Hiram M. Chittenden Lock, which was built in 1917. Motley boats pass through this place, following from the salty Puget Sound to the freshwater lakes Washington and Union.
The complex of locks is named after the military engineer Hiram Chittenden. But the locals call this object Ballard, as well as the surrounding area. The reservoir is adjacent to the huge botanical garden of Karl English.
The Pop Culture Museum in Seattle has a distinctive exterior and collection of artifacts. His expositions are devoted to popular music and the sci-fi genre in creativity. The founder of the institution, built in 2000 - Paul Allen, is the co-founder of the worldwide company Microsoft.
A variety of events are held on the territory of the museum. These are music competitions, exhibitions, film festivals. Many of the museum's collections are often exhibited in neighboring states and even countries as traveling exhibitions.
A world of fantasy and horror, video games, fantastic literature, and, of course, the most diverse music awaits visitors to the museum. Among the exhibits is a unique sculpture-symbol of pop music, which is made as an installation of 500 guitars.
Another amazing feature that awaits travelers in Seattle is the Chihuly Glass Garden. It is an exhibition of works by the famous sculptor Dale Chihuly. Here are collected ingenious examples of glass sculpture, which can be seen in the dark or light rooms of the museum. The glass atrium promises an unforgettable experience.
