Gates Foundation visitor center opens in Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) - The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is opening a new visitor center in Seattle on Saturday.
Most people don't know what to expect from the glass-clad public space in front of the new headquarters of the world's largest charitable foundation.
Those who decide to peek in the windows or stop inside will find thought-provoking and even fun exhibits that encourage visitors to focus on how they can make the world a better place.
The center is just steps from the Space Needle and Experience Music Project, two of the city's biggest tourist attractions. While it's not exactly a "museum of philanthropy," it's also not just a public promotion of the Gates Foundation's work.
