In my visit to the MFA, with Susan, Barbara and Bill, before our tour of the Quilts exhibit, I wandered around with my I phone taking pictures of things that took my fancy. There is an entrance to the European collection off of the New American Cafe, and it is a very rewarding room, specializing in ceramics, and I go back there often. Here is a blog on all of the stuff I enjoyed beyond the amazing quilts.
