We spent the day with Madisen. We took her to Joslyn Museum. Yes I enjoy museums.

Marta gave me a high quality print of "The Grief of the Pasha" about 20 years ago for Christmas. It is displayed next to the coat rack.

We have a Karl Bodmer print (see below) in the living room. Madison commented on both the moment she saw them. We will take her back next month when the Rembrandt goes on display: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014773408

1. Lucky girl!

I love the Joslyn... You can get so close to the actual artifact that it is amazing.. It is truly a jewel

2. We went to see the Poseidon and the Sea: Myth, Cult, and Daily Life exhibit

I forgot to mention Madison is in second grade.

I was six when I saw the Dead Sea Scrolls there.

3. We were in Omaha last Sunday

And it was raining so hard, that I could not get to the museum.. I have had knee surgery.. so maybe I can talk my better half into another trip, I would love to see this exhibit.. The Thai Pepper is closed on Sundays too.. sigh.. live and learn

4. It is well worth the trip and the $10 for adults

Except for the traveling exhibits, entry to the museum is free.

Marta noticed a few things she never knew about this period.
