Museums

We went to the Peabody Library and the Walters Art Museum yesterday. Amanda didn't know what to do with the card catalog. As you can see, it's truly a museum piece.

It was fun having Uncle Jon stop by to give us an excuse to do something fun. The Walters Art Museum is in a large (very large) old mansion. It's amazing that such a great museum is free to the public. We saw a couple of floors, and then ran out of time.
Jon wanted to take this very cool mosaic map of the world home with him. I learned what a Byzantine was. Now I've developed the urge to go to Istanbul (not Constantinople) and see the Hagia Sophia!
