Philadelphia Museum of Art - Part 4




In all honesty... the building itself is quite beautiful.


This is a comb.


This is a stupid sideways stove/fireplace


The entrance to the Mines of Moria


Which apparently leads you to a Spanish courtyard. Something tells me the dwarves of Moria were Spanish. OYE CALIENTE!

But they couldn't take the heat.


Even with the small water fountain/well


Ice Cube has turned to Pimp My Crib


But he wasn't aware of literalists bringing him cribs to be inlaid with bits of ivory, mother of pearl veneers, and a hint of gold leaf. 


Man I can't handle you walking all over the carpet. Put that ish in some GLASS!

KEEPS IT ALL PRETTY AND ISH


Shh... I may have stumbled upon Indiana Jones' latest adventure




He seems to be having a lot of trouble with taking clear photos as the entire world before him shakes.


And that shaking lead us to the exotic eastern kingdoms of China, Japan, and Korea




Where we sipped on some fine sake


And played hide and go seek in some dressers with the stereotypical nazi villain 


But it is time to retire for you and I.


Philadelphia Museum of Art - Part 1

To the Art Museum we go!


But not before I snap a photo of this nifty statue...


Are those peacock eyes?


The children will help us grow 













I see we are entering the janitorial closet... or wait. is that contemporary/modern art? Oh dear god.

Surprisingly I didn't bother taking a lot of photos in here because I was more often confused than anything else. I also had forgotten to charge my camera and wanted to spend most of the battery on other things.














Miniature silver toy sets!



They're adorably tiny!



These flower holders were creepy... Ugh the fear of small holes is bugging me out.


Gaudy yet cute


Maybe a little too heavy on the flower theme.


If you haven't caught the hint, I really like pottery/ceramics.



Like a lot.
