It is such a treat to have the Ithra Knowledge Center so close. We’ve see a number of speakers and performances there but below are pictures of the first visit we made to the museum. We took in the Van Gough exhibit, toured other local artists work and then swung by the Energy Exhibit.

I forget the name of this piece - it was blue fluid constantly being pumped through these tubes.
