The Museum

Yesterday it was raining like shit here and we were hungover. What a perfect day to go to the museum. I took a few photos.

Juice Van. I don't know, anything that says Juice on it is funny, right?

This was the sculpture terrace. This was the only "sculpture" on it.

Makes for a neat picture though.

This was in the kids' "Dicovery Centre" which was supposed to have a bunch of interactive displays to help you learn. This was an animatronic baby thing that moved when you pulled levers.


Apparently "learning" in New Zealand means showing kids the creepiest thing ever in order to give them horrific nightmares.

There was a display at the museum dedicated to honouring New Zealand musical artists such as Th' Dudes, Split Enz, and these guys, New Zealand's first rap group, The Upper Hutt Posse. Great album cover. Shamefully, there was no tribute to the greatest New Zealand band of all time, OMC. What kind of fuckin museum are they running over here anyway?

Wondering what this is?

Here's a little light on it. Still not sure?

Well read the plaque that accompanied it. (Click to enlarge if you so wish.) Apparently this bird was endangered so they tried everything they could to get it to reproduce including a remote control female look-alike. But the bird wouldn't mate with anything except human heads. (But not human heads when they had the ejaculation helmet on.) I sincerely hope this fucking animal is extinct now. Sorry, some animals just deserve it. Like the Panda.

Into The Void. This was actually a display at the museum called The Void, which was basically this big black circle with a neon perimeter, with nothing about it but balconies looking down on it from as high as six floors up. Sounds like an invitation to suicide to me. I mean come on, the symbolism of killing yourself by throwing yourself into the void is just too good. No, really!
