The southern entrance to the large bulk of a building that is the 
National Building Museum.
The view from the west.
Inside is a large space that's used for grand event such as inaugural 
balls.  I can understand why.  This is a stitched panorama.
A single shot inside (in case the stitching didn't work).

Looking along the large courtyard from an upper floor.    Allegedly, 
these columns are among the tallest indoor columns in the world.
A shot of my collection of pictures of rows of flags.  How many do you 
recognize?
And another shot of the rows of flags.  There were flags 
everywhere..  These are just a sample.
An exhibit of models of famous buildings, made out of legos.

Details about the building in foreground left of the previous picture.
Located in Dubai, it's Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
Fallingwater, the famous Frank Lloyd Wright house sited over a waterfall.
Details.
Gateway Arch.  Curves are hard to make with legos, but the artist 
managed.  It was made easy by the size.

It's too bad this remarkable tower (the Chicago Spire) in Chicago is on 
indefinite hold.
Details.
The exhibit sold "Lego Architecture" for building small models of famous 
sites, some seen in the exhibit and some, such as the Guggenheim and the 
Space Needle, not seen.  I wish I had these types of legos as a kid.
