Escher Exhibition

We have had a busy day in Boston catching all the museums and exhibitions that we wanted to see before heading home tomorrow. The snow of yesterday is melting fast and heaped up at the sides of the roads.  Today was sunny and cold but not as bitter as it has been.

Starting with the Mapparium (a huge glass dome of the world), then the Museum of Fine Art where we spent a lot of our time in the Escher exhibition; then on to the Isabella Gardener Museum.  This is an amazing place built in Venetian style furnished with collectible furniture and paintings (Rembrandt, Titian, Rubens, John Singer Sargent etc etc) too much to take in. Isabella must have been an amazing lady - and very wealthy.  There was a clever robbery here about 20 years ago when several paintings were cut from their frames - they have never been recovered; interesting that the empty frames are still there as the collection cannot be moved or disturbed at all.

Off out for a 'last supper' with our Bostonian friends before boarding the plane for Heathrow tomorrow morning.
