Toledo Museum of Art

For Jon's class, he gets extra credit for going to the Museum here in Toledo and taking a tour, so Friday night, Jon and I went and got a little bit cultured. It was a good experience, but we decided we need to go back. With the tour, we spent a lot of time on just a few of the pieces. Our tour guide wanted us to evaluate each work of art and talk. Here are two of the about 10 pieces we looked at:

This one is a Dutch painting called the Allegory of Vanity by Jan Miense Molenaer. It was done in the 1600s.

This is a sculpture done in Africa. It is actually a Helmet Mask done in the 19th to early 20th century. It is called Mother of Twins. Twins are actually more common in Africa then anywhere else.

It was good to get that side of art, but it would have been nice to see more. There are multiple levels of the museum, with a cafe, store, and of course loads of art.

There is also currently an Andy Warhol exhibit, but Jon and I decided we were not really into Warhol.
