Tours

Samhain                                    Waning Harvest Moon

So.   Two very fun tours.  The kids were great.  Excited, eager to see the next object, came prepared from their work with Mr. Bowman.  It was a treat to take them through the museum.  The interior design students and their teacher were, equally, excited and eager though in a more adult, subdued way.  We talked about wabi-sabi as an aesthetic, the tea ceremony, Taoism and Confucianism, ancestor veneration, bridle joints, huang hua li wood, Ming dynasty folding chairs and we even tacked on a sort of overview of the African galleries.  Both groups seemed happy and cheerful and I felt appreciated.  A good morning.

Now.  Tired.  Nap.
