The only Museum we have been visiting for the past 5 years is Children's museum, Maya lately has been showing some interest in all things Japanese. There was a Japan exhibit at the local museum 'Blanton'. While I was looking at the website I saw that the thursdays are free for all. The Bania in me got more interested in Japan than ever and we took a trip.We zoomed past the Japan exhibit and the Renaissance, stopped briefly in front of the greek/roman statues I tried to get the kids to really see how beautiful they carved the clothes out of stone with each fold showing. They would not budge, Maya commented "how beautiful do you think they carved the clothes for this one". She was pointing to a nude...
Well, then we went to Cildo Meireles' "Missão/Missões installation. It's one of the permanent installations with the ceiling made of cattle bones and a pit full of shining pennies and a spine connecting the two. The girls spent majority of their visit there playing with the pennies. The bania genes live....
There are some pictures here.

:D brilliant!
I wonder at what age kids stop asking questions that are sometimes too embarrasing to answer?
The pictures are beautiful and you are quite the photographer Tina!
Chintoo mama was equally fascinated with the penny pool ;)
