Some damn fine art

 
 
I just got back from the Museum of Fine Art. Had a great time. I saw the "Light My Fire: Rock Posters From The Summer Of Love" exhibit and my only complaint was that it was too small. A very inspiring collection but I wish there was more to it.

I enjoyed the Egyptian Funery Arts section cuz I luvs the mummies. I didn't know this but the ancient romans also mummified some of their dead. They painted a portrait of the deceased and stuck it on the outside where the face would be... experts believe that they used to stand them up in their houses and pretend like they were still alive. I imagine the stink would eventually lead them to burial cuz apparently they weren't as good at embalming as the Egyptians were.

Another surprise for me was a special exhibit called, "Contemporary Clay: Japanese Ceramics for the New Century". I wish that my friend Michael, a ceramic artist had been with me to see it.

I'm going to take a nap now. Cuz I can. And then I'm heading down to the Boston Common gardens. Posted by Picasa
