Smithsonian Carousel

Additional Information

The Eames Office’s solution was a multi-faced glass pavilion with glass doors that opened during the day with the ability to be closed for security at night. The carousel would be lit at night for pleasure’s sake, and still viewable through its glass partitions. A model was built and photographed, the plans were drawn by architect Philo Jacobsen, but the project was set aside after it was decided that the maintenance would be too difficult and costly.
