Round Museum

Hey, so... when did the sea urchin start growing there on the wall? We've been sitting here for quite awhile and I've not noticed those spikes protruding precariously close to your head before. That's a little creepy.

Look into my eye. Deeeeeply into my eye. My glassy stare might intimidate you, but I'm simply a taxidermy'd owl with no ill intent. Go ahead and continue browsing the museum. I'll just watch.

Inside the Gus S. Wortham Theater Center in Houston, Texas, you can enjoy a classic ballet or opera performance in a beautiful space. Outside, you will be greeted by a handful of giant, polished stone kugel sculptures. A German word for "ball", kugels are perfectly balanced spheres that fit perfectly into a base.

The 45 RPM record was the popular portable format long before cassette tapes, CDs or MP3s. The little record with the big Round hole was cheap, collectible, and they fly like a frisbee if your sister is mad enough. Breaking records has another meaning altogether. For 40-some years it delivered hits for stars of all stripes. Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is the all time best seller at 50 million copies. This hunka burnin' vinyl was Elvis's 40th and last Top Ten hit in 1972.

Nice kitty.... You want a little toy ball to play with, yes? Chase it around on the ground for awhile? Here's a 12-inch orange Round for you. It has the sweet sweet scent of deer or cow inside that might drive you wild! Oop, wait... stop... too rough, too rough, kitty! Well... give a 300-lb tiger a little enrichment, and look what you get!

Watch where you sit. It's been drizzling all morning and this hypnotic Round bench is covered in raindrops. It's calling you, trying to trick you. Come. Sit down. Take a load off. You're getting drippy. Very very drippy.
