 We got the chance to make a little bit of art in the museum.  They had an area where you could decorate a papier mache vase using oil pastels.

I always find art museums make me want to create art, so it is particularly delightful when the museum actually facilitates the art making process.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Fantastic museum and photo collection!! Thank you for posting!! It must be amazing in real life–I love the shots you take that give perspective on the size of the piece, and also the closeups you take of just a tiny portions that are like a finished piece all their own. Edward Hopper quote–yes, yes, yes!! And, a cycle is then generated that validates my verklemptness. No words, very emotional, all the feelings.

  • Thank you Julie! An absolute delight! My brother doesn’t know it yet, but when I see him later this year, we are going to spend a day at the Museum. If I can’t persuade him, at least I have your virtual tour to delight me!
