Opened in 2012, the astounding building of the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, which is reminiscent of the rough plains of Texas, was designed by Thom Mayne, Pritzker Architecture Prize. Thanks to its fine museography and the experiences it offers (e.g. fly like a bird, experience an earthquake, visit an FBI laboratory), this museum ranks as one of the most remarkable of its kind in the US, and is a hit with young and old alike.
