Part of the Boston trip included a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts. One of the first exhibits we saw was the Egyptian and Nubian Hall, which was of particular interest to me becaue I had just covered a history class at Winchester Thurston where the 6th graders reviewed and then tested on Egypt and Nubia. The answer to the extra credit question, "What did the Egyptians and Nubians store mummified organs in?" was Canpopic Jars.

I have visited the MFA a couple of times before, and each time, look forward to seeing this girl I have a crush on: Jean-Baptiste Greuze's Young Woman in a White Hat

Something about her that's just sizzling hot.

Other cool stuff included some pieces in the "Degas to Picasso" Exhibit by Egon Shiele, Bertold Loeffler, Stuart Davis and Ditha Moser. Maybe someday I'll have tons of money, will retire early, and can do a few studies in art history.
