Art Museum




This afternoon we took the kids to the Columbus Museum of Art. None of us had ever been before, and luckily it was fairly small, so we got through the whole thing in an hour and a half, which was about as long as the kids could handle. They had a special exhibit of Egyptian mummies, and a children's area with some hands-on activities. We also got there just in time to compete in the Chihuly Challenge, which consisted of your team putting as many pipe cleaners as we could around a black pole in three minutes. (Like you're constructing a Chihuly chandelier.) Anyway, Maria, Sam, and I had a total of 83, and won the team challenge, the prize for which was a $10 gift certificate to their gift shop.

Take a look at the sign in the picture above, which actually is from the College of Art and Design next door to the museum. A poorly placed light pole changes the sign to something else entirely. Ben is very proud of his picture!
