Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

While in Boston allowing mother and daughter to visit on Sunday, we stopped into the Museum of Fine Arts. This allowed our other daughter (Allison) to visit with some of the paintings that she has been studying in her classes as an Art major. I loved the juxtaposition of the statute out front of the museum with the big exhibit banners. It was appropriate for the figure to have the arms outstretched to welcome the rain, water is life. We joined many others escaping the rain to duck inside and view the exhibits. We did not do the special Americans in Paris exhibit as that was a separate admission and we would not have had time to do it justice on this day (probably won't get back in time before it closes, Sep 24th). Carolyn will be fortunate as a Northeastern student to have free admission to the museum. I could envision taking a book over to read in a gallery some day.
