Great stuff. i was at Frank lloyd Wrights Falling Water about three weeks ago. They don't let you take pics inside the house, but it is full of the original furnishing, many that are built ins, and artwork that was in the house when it was a private residence. There is a single "prototype" chair in the guest house that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that is perfect in it's simplicity.

The more time I spend on the HAMB, the more I realize I've found my home. I thought I was the only one who liked Barcelona chairs and the Noguchi stuff. I usually don't tell people what a design nerd I am becuase most normal people wouldn't understand. It figures the the HAMB crowd would "get it". Barcelona chairs have been on my want list for years now. Someday, someday.......

So was I and I agree, not only spectacular but HUGE and unfinished. They claim that it will take at least another 30 years to finish it.
