I've heard the museum is impressive, and it certainly is so. The protest signs are interesting and I thought you used a different word or words for kerosene. Paraffin?
Man I haven't been to that museum in years. And you're telling me if I go out and hang my laundry on a clothes line it'll be art? I mean I don't who would want to see my Bloomers hanging on the line.. but I'm all up for providing art.

ReplyDeleteKerosene is a petroleum product, it was commonly used as lamp oil, or light furnace oil. I think the English call it Paraffin.
DeleteYes they do!
DeleteWould that be "they" or "we"? Or would either word work equally well?
DeleteOne of my favorite museums. I remember my first time being so excited to see the “real” Charlie McCarthy and the “real” ruby slippers.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the trains. I was glad the trains are still there.

ReplyDeleteAs I recall someone posted an artistic photo of everything neatly folded, arranged by color and cut. That was also art.
DeleteSo many facets to history, to life, just in your photos.
ReplyDeleteI only walked about half of the museum, I will make it back.
DeleteThe museum looks fantastic and so skilfully put together. It's always nice to see a picture of a beaver but better alive than deceased.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen beavers in the wild recently, but they are around, back in 2021 I ran across a making couple one morning along the Potomac River.
DeleteVoyeurism is a fun hobby isn't it?
DeleteJulia Childs' kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI was glad to see they still have it on display.
DeleteGreat set of photos. Thanks for the shot of Julia's kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIt is a quiet time of the year, and I was able to get some great shots.
DeleteSo much to see!
ReplyDeleteOne of the nice things about living here
DeleteI would like to visit this museum just to see Julia Child's kitchen. I was amazed at the number of pans and the number of knives she had.
ReplyDeleteShe was a believer in one best tool for the job.
DeleteI doubt I will ever visit the Smithsonian. Thankful for net I can see it on line. Still one can dream of visiting.
