Three posts at the MFA

Susan had to go into Boston for an eye exam, so I dropped her off and made a bee-line to the MFA.
It was a terrific visit, and I saw a lot of unexpected things, especially the Bloom exhibit, which was disturbing, riveting, fascinating, and remarkably beautiful.
Here is blog 1: Jewelry, Black History exhibit.

A  visit to the jewelry gallery, hoping for something new (there wasn't).
But I still love this great art in miniature
