Hohoho My Take In To The Philadelphia Museum Of Fine Art - Business Office 3

In my terminal ii spider web log posts I shared some photos of my trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, together with showed y'all the exterior of the museum together with some antique historical china plates together with other goodies. Here are a few to a greater extent than photos of some things that I idea were real special...

I'm forever amazed at art, fine craftsmanship, antiquities together with historical items. The spoons below are from around 1680-1710. And y'all idea your mom's spoons from the 70's were old!

There was a modest collection of fine argent jewelry together with other modest objects inward the American Art department (one of my favorite areas of the museum!) I idea this Boatswain's Whistle was especially cool.

I couldn't non include a photograph or ii of the fabulous miniature painted oculus jewelry...these are romantic tiny portraits of lovers eyes...sigh...

I didn't accept many photos of the paintings inward the museum. With lots of folks milling around the masters similar the Van Goghs, Rembrants, Monets together with Matisses, I reserved my photos for things that struck me equally unusual...(I compass got to add together though that I almost died when the 8 or ix twelvemonth quondam missy amongst her dad inward front end me at Sunflowers asked her dad if she could behave upon it!! Gah!! Seriously?! Thank goodness he said NO together with give cheers goodness it was behind glass!)

Then I came across these guys...things that brand y'all go...hmmm...

Hi I'm a lion. Hi I'm a leopard.

I also compass got a affair for actually quondam woodwork, together with doors. Reeeeeely quondam woodwork....like 1518 old....

Sigh...

After visiting the European Art nosotros took a interruption together with had a smashing luncheon inward the cafeteria (there is a eating seat too, if y'all desire to pass $$$, or the cafeteria if y'all desire to pass $$.) After luncheon nosotros checked out the museum gift store (pricey at $$$) together with thence made our agency upstairs...

Another of my real very favorite sections of the museum is the armor. Wow only wow. This postal service shirt was HUGE! And of course of pedagogy it was from Transylvania! Gah!

My daughter's confront when she discovered the armor for toddlers...what?! whoa!

I promise y'all enjoyed this real modest peek into the enormous Philadelphia Museum of Art! This is a museum that y'all demand to pass to a greater extent than than 1 solar daytime at. There is only thence much to run into together with do. I promise to become dorsum over again 1 solar daytime presently together with pass to a greater extent than fourth dimension inward the Asian Art section, which nosotros alone got a glimpse of earlier nosotros left. We had strolled well-nigh 3 miles through the museum together with had our fill upwards afterward a total solar daytime of looking at the amazing art. I promise 1 solar daytime y'all tin run into it too.
