This exhibit was at the Victoria, BC museum while I was there, but unfortunately they were closed, and we were only in town for a few hours.  :(

Yeah, that is true.

I ride NJ Transit every day. Really pretty good for the money.

Chihua-ku, you're in Philly, right? I'd suggest that you consider taking the train (Amtrak). It's really quick.

But really expensive... Septa, NJ Transit and/or Chinatown bus are much cheaper ways to go to NYC.

Two hours away by bus... Worth visiting on a day off. Thanks for the info and the link.

The coasts always get the good exhibits.   Ah well.

I just found a link to this website on another forum.

This looks to be a very interesting exhibit. Since it will run for almost three months, perhaps some of our members will be able to visit it. Luckily for me, I'm in NYC every day (when I have work  :) ), so I'll be sure to visit the museum one afternoon.

I hope some of you will be able to make it to see this.
