71 (115) The Seagram Building

The architect's (Mies van der Rohe) faith in simplicity and clarity became a world standard which has reproduced throughout the globe. Yet it is hard to beat the original. The Seagram Building's proportions, the fineness of its 38 stories of bronze and dark-tinted glass curtain walls well worth the high regard in which it is held. The Seagrams expansive front plaza was a New York first when the building opened in 1958.

75 (79) Sony Wonder Technology Lab – free technology and entertainment museum

For some, the word ‘museum’ can envisage a stuffy, dusty old rooms full stuffy dusty old people looking at old stuffy stuff. Sony just kicks the stuffing out of stuffiness with a high-tech, interactive experience that just makes you drawl at the word museum. Or maybe its a toy store..

Hosted a talking robot, B.B. Wonderbot, Sony Wonder Technology Lab is highly interactive and highly-tech and its free! Rotating exhibits on audio, robotics, networks and much more. Kids get to make their own music videos or tracking the weather or participating in any number of technology education programs.
