So on we went to the Museum of Fine Arts across the street from the Isabella. There was a special showing called Secrets of Tomb 10A: Egypt 2000 B.C. Terrific and fascinating show. We were watching a video on the discovery and there was talk about all the looting that went on over the millennia and Dianne commented that what's the difference between that looting and our looting the tomb. This tomb was untouched for 4000 years and here we are yanking everything out. It's true, but I was glad to have seen it. I've been so attached to my "stuff" so it was appealing that Egyptians liked to take what they needed to live in the next life. I'd have to have a mighty BIG coffin or tomb on my way out.
Dianne mentioned that she knew the artist, Jonathan Borofsky (from her Maine days). He's got several flying bodies hanging from the ceiling throughout the museum. I particularly loved Zhan Wang's Artificial Rock #85 (stainless steel). At first, I wasn't impressed by the giant rock, but when I started to take closeups of the rock, you'll see just how awesome it really is and how many colors it reflects. Almost looks like a molten lava flow but in caramel. All in all, a very good day. Sigh, I wish life was like this back home at the trailer. I'll have nothing to blog about when I get home.
