de Young

Before the holidays started, I bought myself a joint membership to the de Young and SFMOMA. I finally got to use it and I took Cole along as my guest. He had never been to the de Young, so I was pleased to be his docent. They have a Keith Harding exhibit running until February 16th and we both really enjoyed it.

Cole gets cultured.

I started taking photos of people taking pictures of the art

JUST LOOK AT IT! STOP!

My favorite area is the American Decorative Art gallery

Museum of Natural History

Or as I called it, "The Creep Show". After Caversham we headed to Guildford for lunch and to see the Museum of Natural History. What it turned out to be, was an old house filled with a taxidermists treasures and some dinosaur replicas for good measure. It was fascinating to see the collection, but it was mostly a random collection of preserved animals.

This was my first clue that something was amiss, amok, awry. IT'S DEAD. At least he looks comfortable.

WELCOME!

Unfinished shark replicas. The one on the right appears to be wearing some strange surgical mask...

A few more dead pets.

It was a quirky place yet fabulously fascinating.

Thanks for reading!
