The Mapparium was very cool. It is a glass sphere of how the globe was in
1930. The guide played a short AV
presentation and then pointed out the coolest part of being in a glass sphere,
the acoustics. You could stand on either
side (there was a bridge connecting the two sides so head level was the center
of the sphere) and whisper to the person across the way and it sounded like you
were whispering in their ear and if you stood in the middle it sounded like you
were in the center of a sphere of speakers.
Unlike the dork from New Zealand with us on the Sam Adams tour, the NZer
who stayed behind with us to play was funny.
He joked about letting one rip right in the center and enjoying the
satisfaction. |
