Toledo Museum of Art

Some years ago we stopped to check out the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art. We had such a good time there we ran out of time to walk across the street and check out the fabulous art museum established by the Lilly glass family.

This trip to Toledo was to spend the day in the art museum.

They have an electric car charger just outside the entrance

Plans are underway to update portions of the museum. These changes are detailed on a beautiful model of the museum 

This exhibit is thousands of dried flowers of all types suspended from the ceiling

The beauty of a cast iron gate is highlighted by its shadows

The same fellow who designed the cast iron entrances to the Paris underground also did fireplaces - Wow!

Almost looks real doesn't he?

Sculpture combined with paint

There were hundreds of these miniature works of art on display

2D and 3D art were  set in juxtaposition  

This detail in the painting became an image as shown below

I enjoyed seeing back rest adjustments  fromchairs of the early 1900's

Woman in a brown velvet dress

Amazing how the texture was captured

I like how the woman in this painting is watching the viewer

One needs to look up to see all of the museums treasures

The brush strokes on the rock will be handy to keep in mind if I paint my own model RR backdrops

Something about her makes me think she would have been fun to be around

Good food to be had in the dining area

The history of Libby Glass was well explained
