Home Delivery Show at MOMA

So Eddie and I went to see the "Home Delivery" Show at MOMA (Museum of Modern Art).
.
It was a very cool show about modular home building.
.
Parts of it were fascinating, mainly because they pulled together some older stuff I had never heard of.
.
There was a walk through building of a 1948 home that was delivered to sites on flat bed trucks and built there. It was this 2 bedroom steel building that was really cool for the late 40's.
.
There were also buildings from Japan and all over Europe.
.
It was really cool.
.
This building here was actually built on the side yard of the MOMA space. We walked through this interesting 5 story space. It was very very cool.
.
The also had a "micro" house which was impossibly tiny. \.
.
This micro house had two sides. On one side was a kitchenette wall, and a toilet / shower room. ON the other side stepped down was a dinette and above a full size (double) bed that folded down. That was it.
