dbp म्हणाले...: Mead considers then rejects the idea of micturation on the toes of the statue*.

*By "statue" I mean here, the large though rudimentary paper mache project which somehow found its way into a museum.; ५/२/१२, ९:४७ AM

jungatheart म्हणाले...: lol Burri.; ५/२/१२, १०:११ AM
Sydney म्हणाले...: Do the guards ever give you grief for photographing the museum art work? I've often been tempted, but the museums here make money selling postcard reproductions of their work.; ५/२/१२, १०:१२ AM

Non-flash photography is officially permitted in the permanent galleries of the Chazen Museum.

There's an excellent temporary exhibit there now, by the UW art faculty, but I couldn't photograph that. Go over there and check it out.

Especially if you want to see a giant white gorilla covered in clear marbles. And bones, lots of bones.; ५/२/१२, १०:५५ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: Meade wasn't bored, by the way. And Meade is great fun to go to a museum with. We end up talking about the art at my favorite level of comedy/seriousness and the conversation dimension of the visit is just ideal. Most people either don't know what to say about art or are too serious and pompous about it. This is why people get bored at museums!; ५/२/१२, १०:५८ AM
William म्हणाले...: The guess here is that Meade approaches art museums with the same enthusism that Althouse embraces twenty mile bike rides. The semiotics in this picture will give the gang from Isthmus a rich mine of material.; ५/२/१२, ११:०२ AM

No, they get bored because it's a frickin' museum! lol Unless, of course, it's an aviation museum.; ५/२/१२, ११:०२ AM

Bingo! You see, men have a clear advantage when comes to pissing on art. That woman in the news a while back tried but missed the mark. link.

Today's theme is gender differences, is it not?; ५/२/१२, ११:१० AM

As Ed might say, "Madame, you and Meade have hit the jackpot."; ५/२/१२, ११:३२ AM

Leveling the playing field.; ५/२/१२, ११:४२ AM

Strapping something on is hardly an advantage!; ५/२/१२, १:४८ PM
Museum Replicas म्हणाले...: Great piece of work. Big women, love to see it.
