NCMA sculpture park

I took the boys on a walk through the sculpture park at the North Carolina Museum of Art. We hadn't explored all the trails there yet and I was surprised to see that they even connect with the Raleigh greenway trail system. We love exploring all of the trail systems here. We found some fun sculptures back in the woods that we hadn't seen before. And I also nearly ran right over a copperhead snake that was in the middle of the trail. We have already found 3 different kinds of snakes hanging out by our back porch and in our garage this spring. Yikes!

The Cloud Chamber. It's like a giant pinhole camera. An opening in the roof projects an inverted image of the sky onto the floor when you go inside. Pretty cool.

Before Courtney and Bria headed back to Virginia, we visited the North Carolina Museum of Art. We only had a few minutes to look around in the museum before it closed but the grounds stayed open later. The Museum Park was much bigger than I expected, with lots of walking trails through fields, woodlands, and a pond and some outdoor art installations. Great spot for an evening stroll.
