All those little plastic balls used at the beach exhibit are all being used to make these interesting brand new structures down here in the dupont underground. This is the old trolley station locatednd circle. It hasnt been used really since 1962 and the idea here is that people will create their own art. If you take a look at this, what they have done here is they have taken all of those little balls and they have glued them together and put little velcro pieces on them. So if you can score a ticket, you will be able to come in for one hour and youll be able to construct, deconstruct, whatever you want down here in the tunnel. So its an interesting idea because the exhibit is going to change all the time. Every hour depending upon the ir conspiracy race that strikes people, everything will change. So the tickets are in hot fla demand. Dupont underground will post more slots on their web site soon, so keep an eye on that. But the exhibit opens this weekend and i bet it will be just as pop and yular as that b exhibit. For sure. Here are 4 things to know before you head out the second round of the nfl draft.
