This is the Walters Art Museum. This is is large and has four (4) levels (floors). We spent about five (5) hours in here. There was still a couple of floors we missed. It is like anything else. If you really enjoy something, you take your time and pretty read everything.
This place was set up by Henry was the son and he is the one that save all this and gave it to Baltimore for the future museum.
This is just one of the rooms that are set up just like where him and his dad lived.
Out of all the pictures in this one room, I really enjoyed checking this one out more than any other. The story is in the next picture.
Thru out the museum there is different books that you can read and get to know more about the art work.
I had to go out and move the car. The reason was I was being cheap and save a buck or so. So the first two hours was free. But had to move it. If you look closely you can see it is the area I am parked. So just moving to another parking space, still get a ticket. I ended up paying for parking. No biggie, the museum was free.
So while driving around I saw different sites.
This is the museum itself.
This wall has people ideas on what they learned while here.
I guess the kids had a lot of fun here?
This young lady was one of the ones that take X rays of the art work and checks to see if there is anything below the top art work. She was telling us that she has worked on this for over a year. There are many levels of paint. You know as you have this art work and it is fading I guess people just want it to look the best it can. If you look at the Christ children someone repainted over the red clothes. There is just one red paint and it doesn't look like the rest of the art work. She was telling us it will be another 4 to 6 months to finish this one picture.
I was checking this one piece out and it was so much detail.
These four (4) items were on top of a building. The note tells us it was damaged by earthquake.
Over all this was a wonderful time and I wish we could have saw everything. But time was winding down. Really didn't want to get into traffic. You know rush which is not really RUSH HOUR????
I have many more photographs of the art work and other things we saw. I hope to put more in tomorrow.
