It’s not a human maze, it’s not an adult ball pit, it’s not even a plastic iceberg, but the National Building Museum’s latest summer installation, Hive, can still provide some entertainment if you want to spend an afternoon inside. Constructed from nearly 3,000 wound paper tubes of varying sizes, the structures designed by Studio Gang should, according to press materials, remind viewers of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the dome of the Duomo in Florence, and mud huts in Cameroon. It’s up to you whether you see those connections or not, but you will have different acoustic experiences as you explore the exhibit. Read more >>> The exhibit is on view Mondays through Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., to Sept. 4, at the National Building Museum, 401 F St. NW. $5–$16.
