I see...lemons?

Video proof that I actually get out and do stuff.



LJ and Hannah's favorite thing was the Malakula Island Effigy Figure. Story goes that The tribal medicine man was honored by having his skull placed inside a figure which will then contain his spirit. Well now he's in a case in the Polynesian art hall. He tries to get out on occassion and there are scratch marks all over the inside of the glass.


Another favorite was this one-


"Betty" by Gerhard Richter looked out of place hanging in the modern painting gallery, until we realized that it wasn't a photograph but indeed a painting.
