Cats at The Museum

May 18 is International Museum Day, and this year the objective is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” 

Have snapped photos of cats at art and natural history museums in my travels; here are a few:

The Graham Children, 1742

Visit a museum; you'll learn something, I guarantee it.

Love Week Day 6: Art and Architecture

I love a good story, as told by an artist, an architect, a engineer, or a craftsperson.

When I travel, I visit museums, famous architecture, and gardens.
