[like alot of the items in the collections, something would catch your eye as you looked at pieces in another room or walked by, unaware. this room was dark except for the lit bulbs over each portrait. the artist described/titled this a memorial for all the children. not because they were no longer alive, but because at the time of the photo, they were children. since that time, they would all grow up and never be as they once were in the photos. a large 20x30' room was used for this collection. must have been 12-18 pictures, all lit like these. i could not walk by the room without going in - yes, if you unscrew one bulb, they all go out]
[hand blown glass from early America, just so hard not too see out of the corner of your eye and then walk up to to see close-up. really nice glass and the display was perfect - don't try to blow into them to make the empty bottle whistle though]
[a huge, wonderfully rich, warm armoire - it's better in person and no, they do not like it if you try to see if you can fit yourself inside]
[this was my lunch from that day - a combo of roasted golden beet salad and half a oven roasted turkey-bacon sandwich, chips, limonata, and a small lemon bar for dessert. it complimented the art very well and tasted great too. it wasn't terribly expensive and powered me through my whole tour. they have a local restaurant run a nice cafe - notice the little "can cover" on the Peligrino Limonata? Those Italians are so clean, could be where i get it from]
