This week is Spring Break, and I spent a few hours at the Art Institute today. One of my favorite things to do! I love putting my headphones in and wandering around.
I found this interesting... during the Renaissance, a popular thing for wealthy Europeans was to have a "cabinet of curiosities" in their house. This would be a room with different artifacts, art, etc from around the world.
This room in the Art Institute is supposed to give you a feeling of what a real cabinet of curiosities would be like...
A painting from Italy.
Some pottery from China.
And a cup carved out of a coconut from the New World.
Today was a perfect Spring day in the city!
Tulips in Millennium Park.
Dad and I met for lunch, and we took it outside so we could sit by the most beautiful building in Chicago! I am obsessed with it.
My Spring Break is going by too fast. Tomorrow I have no plans other than to be a housewife! I have my to-do list ready (cleaning, laundry...). I might rent "My Week with Marilyn" if I get enough done around here. We'll see!!!
