A couple of weeks ago I visited Vasconcelos Library in Mexico City, it has been on my list of places I want to visit in Mexico for several years and it was worth the long wait. The place itself is astonishing. I was looking in every direction and I couldnât get used to the view, you feel like the books are floating in the air. It is at the same time overwhelming and calming.
In the middle there is a 169 bones grey whale skeleton, it was found in Baja California Sur, and the artist Gabriel Orozco painted ripples on it resembling the movement of ocean waves and sound waves, the name of this piece of art is âMĂĄtrix MĂłvilâ.
The library checks all the boxes when I visit a place to review on Google Maps. It has wide spaces to study, an auditorium, gardens, and is accessible, offering content in Braille and LSM (Mexican Sign Language) plus the basics in mobility like elevators and ramps.
**Have you ever seen any skeleton outside of a museum?**If so, tell me in the comments below, Iâll love to see photos as well.
I am a great admirer of museums @LaloPadilla and I liked your post very much, neatly described with beautiful supporting pictures. The skeleton is placed in such a way that we get different views.
Yes I have seen many skeletons in many museums. The below is the picture of a giraffe skeleton from Historical Museum, UK. This picture I took during my visit in 2017. I loved the alignment of the skeleton and animal along with the shadow.
I thank @TravellerG for tagging me since posts on museums is my favorite and it is very interesting to note from your post that a library has a skeleton.
Thanks for your comment @Gurukrishnapriya and also for sharing your photo, I looks great and totally makes sense to have a ânormalâ giraffe next to the skeleton so people donât have to imagine it haha. Were there other animals too?
Gracias @Maximilianozalazar ! Concuerdo contigo, pudieron hacer una biblioteca normal pero de vez en cuando se hacen cosas como estas que le vienen muy bien a la zona en la que estĂĄ.
En Argentina, las bibliotecas que han compartido ustedes y me han gustado mucho es el Ateneo y la Biblioteca Nacional, igual espero un dĂa verlas en vivo
Dear friend @LaloPadilla Itâs some thing rare to see a display of huge skeleton in side a library. I never imagined such a big whale skeleton in side a library. Normally we find such a assembled skeleton in museums. Thank you for sharing this amazing library photos. You have well covered the whale skeleton from all directions to make it more meaningful to our imagination. Thank you @TravellerG for tagging me , otherwise I might have missed this wonderful post. Thank you @Gurukrishnapriya for sharing in details with photos about your visit to Historical Museum, UK.
