A kidney-shaped pool filled with thousands of recyclable balls might be the coolest place to be this summer in Washington. The National Building Museum’s Great Hall is now home to NYC-based design firm Snarkitecture’s “Fun House,” which is like a playground for architecture fans.

The exhibit is designed to be interactive, and highly photogenic - just take a look in the images below and snag a $16 ticket for the exhibit before it closes on September 3.
