This is the SA Museum of Art where I saw a Matisse exhibition of works collected by the Cone sisters in the 1920-40 from the Walters Museum in Baltimore. I have been there and thought that I had seen them all 20 years ago. I had only seen a fraction of their collection.
One of the most telling bits was a compilation of shots of his lady in a peasant blouse that he, typically, worked and reworked many times. The images were superimposed and hardly change so it is almost like she is breathing.
The museum also has Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Asian, Latino, etc collections housed in two buildings joined by this walkway. . . . .and I thought that I had lost my fear of heights!
Yesterday I went to the zoo which was full of little kids and their parents. The bear was bored, the snakes coiled but awake, lots of birds with out of date signs, sleeping big cats and a pair of Okapi.
OkapiThe Southern Tamandua (a tree climbing anteater the size of a cat) had a hammock!
And the flamingos (which are orange, not pink) had babies.
