The NEMO Science Museum is a science centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is located in the Oosterdokseiland neighborhood in the Amsterdam-Centrum borough, situated between the Oosterdokseiland and the Kattenburg. The museum has its origins in 1923, and is housed in a building designed by Renzo Piano since 1997. It is noted as looking like a sinking ship by the people living in the city. I had the opportunity to visit this spectacular building while I studied abroad in the Fall of 2019, and it was just as incredible on the inside as it was on the outside!

The Winspear Opera House is located in the arts district of Downtown Dallas, Texas, and it was built by Foster + Partners and Kendall/Heaton Associates, Inc in 2009. It was designed as a 21st-century reinterpretation of the traditional opera house, the Winspear seats 2,200 in a traditional horseshoe configuration. It is very special to me, because I grew up going to different shows and performances inside this beautiful building for many years. This kind of building made performances feel so incredibly magical, and it transformed the way people could view live entertainment.
