We're hang gliding into the long weekend like the Mariner Moose, pictured here in #May 1990. This stunt was ostensibly staged to break the world indoor flight record of 26.4 seconds, however, the Moose stayed up for only 16.7 seconds. A for effort, though! 📷: MOHAI, Seattle Post-Intelligencer Collection, 2000.107.015.29.03, photo by Mike Bainter (fb)

Mandela: The Official Exhibition opens at MOHAI this Saturday, May 24! This exhibition explores the life of the world’s most famous freedom fighter and political leader. His epic journey is told in a series of experiential galleries featuring previously unseen films, photos, and the display of historical artifacts and personal effects on loan from the Mandela family, museums, and archives worldwide. This unprecedented exhibition offers fresh insights into the people, places, and events that formed Nelson Mandela’s character and the challenges he faced. MOHAI will also highlight Mandela’s 1999 visit to Seattle and present a look at Seattle’s role in the anti-apartheid movement, including the work of the Seattle Coalition Against Apartheid. Mandela recognized Seattle as one of the first U.S. cities to boycott South African goods. Learn more and plan a visit today ➞ https://bit.ly/3DymNzV (fb)
