In 1936 The Children’s Museum received an unexpected and very generous gift from board member William Rockwood. Having sold his house in the 3600 block of Washington Boulevard, Rockwood and his wife were giving the museum a 200-foot-by-280-foot lot they owned next door to their former residence. The museum was free to do with the lot whatever it wanted.
What it wanted, the board decided, was to build a new facility to house the museum, which was then making do in cramped quarters in the rapidly aging Carey house. Architect and longtime museum trustee Kurt Vonnegut Sr. volunteered to design the new structure.
The result was a design for a two-story modern building that used glass blocks to provide natural lighting. There were four galleries, a 240-seat auditorium, and a separate entrance in the rear for school groups. The estimated cost to build it was $76,000, with Ruth and Eli Lilly offering to provide $25,000 of the cost.
But the Rockwood’s former neighbors were not enthused about having a museum in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Their objections led the city plan commission to turn down the museum’s request for a zoning variance to allow construction. The museum’s board retreated but made another attempt a few years later, which was met with another refusal. In 1943 the museum sold the Rockwood property and turned its attention elsewhere in a search for a new location. Vonnegut’s building was never built.
The House of Terror in Budapest incorporates both pictures of the victims of the Nazi and Soviet regimes onto its external walls and when the sun shines through the template overhang, it spells out the word "terror" onto the facade. #Budapest #museumweek #architectureMW (at House of Terror)

Today’s MuseumWeek theme was ARCHITECTURE!

Todays #MuseumWeek theme is #architectureMW and we’re looking at one of Edinburgh’s most iconic buildings, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Designed by Scottish architect Robert Rowand Anderson, the neo-gothic building was modelled on the Doge’s Palace in Venice. It first opened its doors to the public in 1889, becoming the first purpose built portrait gallery in the world. Today, it houses the Scottish national collection of portraiture and photography, along with one of the digitisation studios that the Skills for the Future Trainees get to work in.
