The exhibit of refrigerators is on display at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., and runs until Sept. 2. Fifty decorated refrigerators will be on display, and visitors can vote on their favorite “Viewer’s Choice” piece. A panel of judges will also pick the top three pieces based on these criteria: coolest, how recycled materials were used, creativity and best representation of the theme, The Art of Recycling: The Coolest Show in Town. The top choices will be announced Sept. 3.
