Well today we spent the day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (http://www.philamuseum.org/) and (cue the music) we even walked up the stairs made famous in Rocky. The museum right now is having an exhibit of Renoir from his later years. The museum itself is huge and will take more then one visit to see it all so we decided to join, this way we get to go back anytime we like and we also will get into 2 more special exhibits for free. Of course I was not allowed to take any pictures in the Renoir exhibit but no flash photography is allowed in the rest of the museum. We decided to wonder around the first floor and went into the American Artist exhibits before lunch. We did not get through all of that before we headed down to the café for lunch. After lunch we went up to the second floor to the display entitled Costume and Textiles that Barbara wanted to see, it was disappointing as it was a very small display and no real costumes in the display case. There were some very nice needle work pieces but no gowns or any clothing to speak of. The Renoir display was very good and the audio player you get as you walk in to the display was excellent. We are now in our hotel room enjoying a bit of a rest before we go out to dinner and then on to Longwood Gardens for the colored fountain display tonight (hope it does not rain on us).
Live Writer still will not let me upload my pictures from here so I had to upload them to my live space and post the link to them here. Just click on the link to go to the pictures.
Because of the weather we are not going to Longwood tonight.
