a thing in 39 photos in 2016 museum showing 2016 only · show all years Cooperative bus driving. Dug this old case of fake tokens! ...and ceiling fans! Had upholstered seats... Old time New York City subway car! Apparently a popular museum for families! We added ours to the collection. The mall store turned into a weird hands on playground for kids. They had a grocery store section. Interesting to see people creating alternative businesses within empty retail spaces! Harmony of the Spheres There was a whole section about how Middle Easterners have been hunting with hawks for hundreds of years. The center was very cool. Got to see a lecture with some in-person bird visits. They also had a great showcase of old systems and games. We had a to watch an orientation video - and then no photography was allowed in the rest of the museum! We met up with a tour guide who took us into the laboratory through a side door. Sarcophagus. So neat to see all... After lunch we headed over to the Egyptian wing at the American Museum of Natural History! ...the different layers of funerary coffins. Painted inside. Birthday Jeet! Happy birthday, Gurjeet! Love you! On to the next room! Lioness-faced Sekhmet! Love the era of history when Rome was heavily involved in Egypt and all the mummies start having Roman style paintings. On Tuesday, I spent the entire afternoon going through the massive collections at the Museum of Internation Folk Art and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. They also had a bunch of paintings done by Lama Gyurme , a Buddhist artist who immigrated to Sante Fe from Tibet! Padmasambhava is the founder of Vajrayana Buddhism and is responsible for bringing Buddhism out of India and into Tibet. I sing songs to him everyday! Right when I walked in, I spotted this gorgeous old thanka of Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava (The Lotus Born) from the early 1800s. Ceremonial human thigh-bone trumpet! I think it's neat that humans want to save pieces of bodies from humans that are magical and spiritually accomplished. One of the temporary exhibits they had up was Sacred Realms and had folk art from all over asia. Walking the dead back to the cementerio after the party is over. See you next year! Day of the Dead art. Diorama of Christian Heaven & Hell. Definitely worth a visit if you're out there!
