Franklin National Memorial Show

On my recent trip to Philadelphia, in addition to visiting the Comcast Center and the Macy's holiday light show, I also visited the Franklin Institute science museum, where I probably hadn't been for about 30 years.  It's a good museum, and in the entrance is the  Franklin National Memorial, which is cool since Franklin was a pretty cool guy.  The show was recently upgraded by McCann Systems with show control in Medialon Manager (once again) by Smart Monkeys.  The team did a nice job, and the technology is tastefully integrated with the architecture to the point that, if you're not a geek, you won't likely even notice it:

 

But then when the show starts it's very cool:
