Female Effigy Jar

I have no idea what a female effigy jar is but if you’ve ever seen the new Star Wars movie IT LOOKS LIKE WOODEN BB8! No you can’t deny it looks like him. He has a small head and round body. All he needs is Rey to make it perfect! :3 I just googled whatContinue reading “Female Effigy Jar”

Sargent Murals: Heracles and the Hydra

This is Heracles. He is a mural on the ceiling Heracles likes fighting, Hebe, and more fighting. To see him you have to throw your head back and hope you have good balance or for you non-germaphobic people you can lay of floor and look stare at it :3 The museum also has mirrors thatContinue reading “Sargent Murals: Heracles and the Hydra”

Camels, Camels Everywhere

One of my friends loves camels so whenever we go to the museum and we see a camel that we have not seen before we take a picture and text her it and believe me there are a lot, so many! We found them all. And in fact we have found so many I’m prettyContinue reading “Camels, Camels Everywhere”

The Doctor, Harlequin, and Colombine

Now, as you can see the people in this sculpture are dabbing. Yes, you heard me right! Dabbing, such a beautiful sight! Anyway, two boys and one girl are made out of porcelain and all dabbing or bowing. They are from a thing called Commedia dell’arte where they make little skits. It is very oldContinue reading “The Doctor, Harlequin, and Colombine”

Monkey King

This is a monkey from Germany it’s made out of porcelain, but it is actually THE MONKEY KING! From the Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en! And it makes sense too: he wears a belt like the monkey king does for a while, porcelain technically comes from the ground and the monkey king isContinue reading “Monkey King”

Medea

I like this sculpture. She is in a very annoyed stance. In the regular story it’s probably because she’s trying to figure out where to put all these bodies. ☠️ I think there is a secret story though. Medea is holding a cake knife. She is waiting for the cake for the party for herContinue reading “Medea”

Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk

Now, I know what it says. But! It is not ladies preparing silk; it is the HOLY PLUNGER! Yes, it doesn’t look holy, BUT it is gold, and gold is usually with a deity or god-like figure SO it is holy. Though also, in this picture, it looks like the two ladies in white areContinue reading “Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk”

Beyond the Spectrum: Musical Masterpieces

I was at the MFA for the Beyond the Spectrum class. We were in this gallery of instruments. I like the sound of music, so I like this gallery. In this gallery a lot of faces look at you. If you look at the way the instruments look, most of them look like they haveContinue reading “Beyond the Spectrum: Musical Masterpieces”

Duck with the Fabulous Hat

Everyone thinks this is a table leg, but I know it is a duck with a fabulous hat. It is fabulous because it is a tall hat. It was so long ago that tall hats were in style. He is a very old gentleman. Though, he is not a table leg anymore; he is nowContinue reading “Duck with the Fabulous Hat”

Morning Cart

From Mina’s mom: The collection listing on the MFA’s website notes that the image is copyright restricted, so we did not post our photo of it; instead we posted our photo of the outlet below it. There are many more outlets in the contemporary and American galleries than the older wings of the museum. IContinue reading “Morning Cart”
