Lime Green Icicle Tower

This thing is so big that it has to be attached to the ceiling so it doesn’t fall over. I bet if you were to grab on to one of the icicle things and pulled it would make the the whole thing shake. DON’T TRY THAT! I’m pretty sure that if one of my catsContinue reading “Lime Green Icicle Tower”

Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii

My big sister likes to copy the pose of this statue. The statue is of a character in a book. The book is called The Last Days of Pompeii by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He wrote it in 1834. Nydia saved people from death after the volcano erupted because she could get around the city evenContinue reading “Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii”

Renaissance Babies

Okay, let’s just get right to the point: Renaissance babies are ugly. Okay, there were a few exceptions, but for the most part Renaissance babies were very ugly especially when it came to painting baby Jesus. Why did they look so ugly? That I have no clue because before the Renaissance and after the RenaissanceContinue reading “Renaissance Babies”

Judith

Judith is a person who is famous for beheading Holofernes before a battle. There are many different depictions of the beheading of Holofernes. Some have loads of blood, some don’t have blood, some are paintings, and some are sculptures like this. In my opinion it looks like that one person on Black Friday that actsContinue reading “Judith”

Juno

Juno is the Roman version of Hera as you can see she is a statue. FUN FACT: Juno is the biggest Roman statue in the USA. Juno was made in Italy. She is important because Hera is a goddess and this is one of the ways of worshipping her. FUN FACT: Hades or Pluto isContinue reading “Juno”

Endlessly Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism

Okay, these are cool mirrors. They can do magic. I mean look at it, it’s so cool. It combines some of my favorite things: glass and mirrors. I like glass because it looks really nice to the eyes, and I like mirrors because they’re strange. I mean you can look at yourself because it’s soContinue reading “Endlessly Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism”

Abraham Lincoln

This is Abraham Lincoln. He is one of the few things people can touch at the MFA. He is made of bronze. The more golden looking parts are the parts people like to touch the most. This is because when the people touch it the bronze is worn down and changed from their skin. IContinue reading “Abraham Lincoln”

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”
