Building Museum with Honeygrow & IGDC

We partnered with our friends at honeygrow for a second instameet on February 4th.

This time we were able to begin our adventures at the National Building Museum. They opened their museum to us an hour before opening so we were able to enjoy a quiet morning in the grand space. If you’ve never visited the former Pension Building turned architecture and design museum, you owe yourself a trip. It’s beautiful and holds so much history and wonder.

After warming up with NBM, we walked over to the new honeygrow restaurant in Chinatown for lunch. We all enjoyed healthy stir-fry, salads and a sweet honeybar at the new location. It was certainly good food and good company.

One lucky winner, the lovely @sipofstarrshine, was selected to receive a $25 honeygrow gift card at the end of the day for her colorful capture:

Even though it was my first time on the topmost level of the National Building Museum, I found myself frequently looking down at these tiles on the ground floor. The effect changed with each flight of stairs I huffed and puffed up. . . . . . #igdc #hglocal #hglocal_igdc #fromwhereistand #fromwherestarrstands #ihavethisthingwithfloors #selfeet

Here are some of our favorite images from the event. Thanks for coming out with us and for more photos, please check the tag #hglocal_igdc.

Yesterday at the National Building Museum. I came late and so I'm bummed that I didn't really get to meet anyone new, but did manage to snap a few good shots. This one of @syang (who I found after a little insta-sleuthing!) turned out to be my favorite. The light and the lines were too perfect. | . . . . . . #hglocal_igdc #hglocal #igdc #acreativedc #bythings #dctography #exposeddc #fotodc #justgoshoot #walkwithlocals #thedistrict #notaswamp #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #agameoftones #peopleinframe #postthepeoole #acreativevisual #visualsoflife #thecreative #chasinglight

Volutes. Acanthus leaves. Egg and dart molding. Rounded arches. Morning light. Gorgeous details from the colossal columns in the National Building Museum.
