SATURDAY

Doodles, Drafts, and Designs: Some consider intimate apparel a fashion statement, others, fantasy material. But at the U.S. Patent Office, the workings of a brassiere are no more glamorous than a telescoping shopping cart or a sewing-machine handle: They all get lumped under the category "industrial design." Seventy-four classic drawings of product designs visit the Museum of History and Industry as part of the show "Doodles, Drafts, and Designs: Industrial Drawings from the Smithsonian Institution," a traveling exhibition that looks back at the past 200 years of American inventions. The show opens Saturday and continues through April 11 at 2700 24th Ave. E. Seattle (206-324-1126 or www.seattlehistory.org).
