You know,
Say to any kid, “Hey let’s go to the Art Museum.”; and you will probally get a lot of different reactions. “Why?” “AWWW< do we HAVE to??” Ect. Now me, I like anything that’s cool or interesting. So i like to go though Museums……for the most part. (Hey I made it though the bowling Museum, how boring do you think that was?)
So when I came across this, I was like wow; now THAT”S the way to make a museum fun! check it out. Below is a link along with a 3d view of what I am talking about.

That is a several stories tall slide. Right inside a museum in London. GLEEEEE! I would so spend the whole time riding that thing. Can you imagine how fast you’d be going? Sure hope they got something soft at the end to land on. hehe.

Okay hope you like this quick little posting, more coming soon I promise.

See you guys,

Darcy
