Day at the Museum

A few weeks ago, a group of us went to the Milwaukee Public Museum for Cleopatra exhibit. It was a very well-done exhibit. I can't show you any highlights as photos were not allowed. However, you can find more in-depth information at National Geographic. I did learn quite a bit of new information about her and that time period.

One of the permanent exhibits is the Streets of Old Milwaukee which I remember fondly from my childhood and have to visit each time I go the the museum.

Knitting has made me more observant of the crafts displayed in the homes.

The Belgium home.






The Latvian home.




No visit is complete without a walk through the Butterfly Wing.

I enjoyed the photos from the Streets of old Milwaukee exhibit. They reminded me of the nationality rooms at the University of Pittsburgh. I'll have to make another trip there when I'm home on vacation.
