Surprisingly,
there are cultural aspects to New Orleans.
Yesterday we visited the New Orleans Museum of Art along with the
outdoor sculpture garden.
The
museum had a great exhibit that made it just fun to visit. It was called “Lifelike”. Very bizarre looks at life! The first room had a working one foot high
elevator doors (the doors worked, but it wasn't a working elevator) along with a card table and chairs that were 10’ tall or
so. You never knew what was art and was
the museum. Art included a room of
construction material or pencils on the ceiling. We were positive we saw a hopper of trash to
find out it was made of wood and canvas and hollow behind it. This picture from the website isn’t really a
body or even a sleeping bag.

My personal favorite in this exhibit was a 32
minute film showing a $20 bill with a guy on a ladder painting/erasing the windows of the
White House . He's under the porch in the picture. The movie has to be seen to be
believed!
Outside
was sculpture garden. Some of my
favorites included these people on the bench, a LARGE spider, and this piece of stainless steel.
Our
late lunch was recommended to us at Nonna Mia’s. Great lobster ravioli and
Italian pizza. I love being able to sit
outdoors during Christmas season!
