It is a gloomy morning so we head to the Museum of Art
This Dale Chihuly Chandelier hangs in the Atrium. Hope it is secured well.
1,600 pounds, 14 feet long, 11 feet wide.
The wood statues coming out of the floor represent the artists conception of purgatory for corporate America.
This mosaic of died felt looks random upon close examination . . .
Sometimes you just have to step back to get a good perspective. The artist has a condition called face blindness which prevents him from recognizing people.
This chandelier was created by Giuseppe Briati in 1750. Amazing it has survived all these years.
Paintings, sculptures, furniture
and even Anchor Hocking
I even made a virtual pot
Afterwords we had lunch and walked a bit of downtown.
Our meter ran out as did our quarters so we headed home and drove past the world's largest fire hydrant. Tucson would be so disappointed he missed it but the signs say no dogs allowed. That's just cruel.
I'm guessing that Hootie and the Blowfish may have been from here.
Wisteria is blooming everywhere but this one is the largest one we've seen.
A nice day in downtown Columbia
