Western influence, but still Kiev random

With Logan out of town this past weekend, getting out of the house (and hopefully distracting the kids from bickering) was even more critical.  So we headed to the new interactive science & technology museum - Experiementanium.

Rumor has it, it was modeled after similar museums in the West....

The entrance held a very cool giant 2 sided peg board you could make impressions with...

(I tried not to think of the germs associated with opening their mouths in the process)

There was all kinds of physics being demonstrated 

And a giant bubble zone

(the floors were good & 'kid wipe out slippery')

And several optical illusions and puzzles on the walls 

(I still can't figure out how moving around these shapes nets an extra box, can you?)

Much more fancy & modern than any other museum we've been to here.  That said, it was still pretty clear you were in Kiev.  First, the decorative moms....

And the unusual exhibits - like a chair of nails...

(I'm happy to report it really doesn't hurt to sit on)

Finally, my favorite - the 'pretend your pregnant vest'!

I'm not sure why the Science museum needed to include cone boobs & a weighted belly - but it was that little touch of Kiev random that we quite enjoy

Here's to imitation & progress - but not so much that things get too vanilla along the way

Happy Monday!
