Special offerings at museums and art venues around the Puget Sound region are playing on the themes of international cooperation, culture, and community, as Seattle gears up for the World Cup. 
On Saturday, May 23, “The Beautiful Game” exhibit opens at the Museum of History and Industry, or MOHAI, in Seattle’s South Lake Union. 
The museum will exhibit a collection of soccer photography from the Puget Sound region and around the globe. 
“I hope that international visitors and local visitors can feel connected to each other through FIFA World Cup Coming to Seattle,” said curator Libbie Barnes. 
“If they go through our permanent exhibits, I hope they feel like they can relate to the history of Seattle and take inspiration from it.” 
The exhibit centerpiece is an enormous soccer ball installation. 
Entering inside the ball, visitors can hear soccer chants from the countries sending teams to World Cup matches in Seattle this summer. 
It’s another symbol of unity. 
“Earth is round and we’re all part of the same planet and we’re in this together,” exhibit designer Nakisa Dehpanah said. 
“No matter where we are, we’re playing the same game and enjoying it.” 
She did too, in fact. 
Dehpanah grew up playing soccer in the streets of Iran with her brothers. 
“I was the goalkeeper because I was not afraid of the ball hitting me,” she said, laughing. 
Near Boeing field, the Museum of Flight is hosting a lecture by sports physics expert, John Eric Goff, on the aerodynamics of soccer balls to mark the tournament’s opening weekend. 
The “Bonsai United,” exhibit at the Pacific Bonsai Museum in Federal Way opened May 9 and shows how bonsai, like soccer, is also shared among many countries around the world. 
The exhibit features the perspectives of bonsai practitioners from 15 countries.
