Day 5 - Anna

We were in Washington DC for the day and it was very hot.  Thankfully all the museums have air conditioning so we had a break from the heat.  The first museum my group went to was the Hirshhorn Museum.  While we were looking at the room with the giant words, Diane, our group leader,called the nine of us over and told the security guard was checking something.  None of us knew what he was checking and were were kind of nervous.  When he came back ,he led us down a hallway to a doorway covered by some rolling dividers.  He moved aside one of the dividers and we all took turns peaking into the room.  Inside it was oversized replica of a Great Dane.  It was lying on the floor with its head up, like it was looking forward.  Its ears were about level with my head that’s how oversized it was!  It looked almost real, too.
That exhibit is not open to the public yet and I’m not really sure why the security guard decided to show it to us.  I’m so thankful he did, though, because it was so neat to see.  It was special because no one else that we know of has seen it.
