Museum Visit

Over the weekend I visited the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA.

I went to see an exhibit called, 

Inventing the Modern World:

Decorative Arts at the World's Fairs,

1851-1939.

The exhibit was a feast for the eyes. Unfortunately I was not able to take photos,

I tried...they shut me down. The only picture I took was of Eva with her head inside

a dinosaur mouth. ( my brave girl!)

The museum was selling a large well photographed catalog of the exhibit.

I thought about buying it, then remembered my New Year's resolution;

don't clutter up your studio or house.

I'm terribly disorganized so I thought the less I owned, the less I have to organize.

There were so may inspirational and awe inspiring pieces in the show.

On the museum's website I found a video about one of the more memorable pieces.

It's a Pianoforte made of paper.

When you see it your eyebrows will touch the top of you forehead!

After we left the museum I realized I missed the Hand Made Exhibit. I think I'll have to go back this week
and maybe pick up a World's Fair exhibit catalog..........
