Endless lines

On our second visit to the “Infinity Mirrors” exhibit at the Hirshhorn during a members-only event, we arrived before the museum was even open to the public, and the line of people waiting to get in stretched around the huge round building, out into the courtyard and down Independence Avenue. We were able to walk right in and were escorted to the second floor entry of the exhibit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen crowds like this – every day, all day long – waiting to get into a museum!

Taken through a very dirty window just outside the exhibit.

An excellent story perfectly illustrated by your image. Great geometry in your composition. Hopefully this exhibit will be there for a while. ~BV~
