A day in Philly

Ok, most of a day.
I must say, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is amazing. Beside the excellent collection of painitngs, scattered througout the museum there are little rooms tucked away set up, furnieshed, and panelled according to a particular period’s decor. So there’s a room that was moved out of a 16th century English house, and one taken from a 17th century Italian villa, and several more. It’s really quite excellent. You get to see the pieces of art in their “natural habitat” as it were.
I only made a cursory sweep through the mueseum, though, because I know that I’ll be back again, and soon, too.
