Trippin': Seattle - SAM

1300 1st Ave
Seattle, WA 98101

You'll know that you've reached the Seattle Art Museum when you find yourself staring up at the 48 feet sculpture of a man that appears to be holding a hammer and making chopping motions. This aluminum and steel alloy of a creation is appropriately entitled Hammering Man. Why how outrageously creative these artist's are! The artist is an American guy by the name of Jonathan Borofsky and the idea behind the Hammering Man is to honor the worker. As for the museum itself, from what I could see inside from outside, it looked pretty cool. Me being the cheapo that I am decided not to fork over the $16/person to wander around inside. I'm sure the bf was very greatful for that. I could have taken a better shot of the museum from across the street but the dummy that I am didn't even think of it at the time.
