The W Kayak at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS)

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

It’s been a year since the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) exhibited a W Kayak in its Engineer It! exhibit.

The DMNS chose to exhibit the W Kayak to represent technical innovation in boat design.

You can pan through an online interactive view of the exhibit by clicking and dragging your mouse cursor on the frame (requires Apple QuickTime viewer)

The organizers of this exhibit reported that the visitors loved the boat.

I thought that event worth remembering since it was the first time the W concept was officially recognized.
