Spent the Day at the CMA

and I have to repeat what Cathy said....the CMA ROCKS!!!  I am such an idiot for not spending more time there.  I rush to the art museums in other cities and have ignored what we have here.  I spent most of my time in the African collection but managed to walk around some of the other rooms.  I took a ton of pictures. 

Face Pendants from the Cote D'Ivoire

What a great day you had! We are very lucky to have such a treasure right at our doorstep. I don't go nearly enough either! I think I'll schedule myself a day...
