Conversation Two
M: How do you like the new art museum?
W: Wonderful! I spent most of my time at the art museum. Iespecially liked the new wing. I was amazed to hear the guide explain theproblems they had building it.
M: Right. [23]I just read an article that went on and onabout the cost. 90 million in total I think.
W: Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see theyspared no expense.
M: Hm. It looked really unusual, at least from what I sawin the picture.
W: It is. [24]The basic design is two triangles. In factthere are triangles all over, the paving stones in the courtyard, the skylightsand even a lot of the sculptures. One sculpture is a mobile. It's in thecourtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum that moves slowly in the air.It's really impressive.
M: That was in the article too. [25]It said that theoriginal was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn't safe to hand.
W: Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't comecrashing down on someone's head.
M: You know the article went into that in detail. There waseven an interview with the sculptor.
W: I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow themagazine sometime?
M: No. I wouldn't mind if I haven't thrown it out yet.
