With a tickets sale sign on display, visitors stand near the “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium in Beijing, China, Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2009. Just five months since the Beijing Olympics, the Bird’s Nest is merely a cavernous museum searching for a new purpose. The iconic National Stadium drew acclaim for its daring design, an engineering marvel that borders on sculpture. Now it draws about 10,000 tourists daily _ mostly Chinese _ who pay 50 yuan (about $7) to walk on the stadium floor, then climb through the expensive seats to a souvenir shop hawking pricey mementos recalling Zhang Yimou’s dazzling opening ceremony or three world records by sprinter Usain Bolt.
