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”
Penguin-form three piece tea service
I like the penguins, because they are funny. You basically open up their head and fill it with tea or water and then just use it. I don’t get the thought process behind it. Apparently Indians made it. I wonder when it would it be used; I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be used every day,Continue reading “Penguin-form three piece tea service”
