FYI: Lots of steps at the museum and lots of elevators too.
More photos to come...we recently took a tour of the East Building of the NC Art Museum hosted by the
Our tour on December 5, of the NC Art Museum was one hour long,
Pardon some of the snaps...there were 50 folks on the tour.
Five docents 10 to a group so lots of heads and bodies in my way.
Our docent was especially fond of modern art and shared lots and lots of information.
This one is called Man with Renoir.
Several walls of this 3D art and very colorful
our Docent asked for thoughts about it. Many spoke of fences
I liked the vibrant colors. surprise surprise
Most beautiful Menorah I've ever seen. It was actually on loan to the White House many years ago for a State Dinner
There were many more beautiful pieces of Jewish art lots of silver and engraving. This was a small room and very hard to snap. Our Docent had lots of information to share about this small exhibit.
****************
Only non Modern Art she spoke about...because we asked about it. We've seen it many times but thoroughly enjoyed the comments she had and those of those in our group
Polychrome Mosaic Pavement
Roman possibly from Vienne, France
2nd Century
Marble, limestone and glass.
Too funny there were some math geeks in the group contemplating how many parts and pieces.
My friend Ramona a fantastic Mosaic artist would have loved this.
Once again apologies for the snaps. This was one of three men who were always in my view.

The seamstress in me found this to be a very interesting piece of art!!!
I could only snap 2 of the 3 Tlingit Baskets by Preston Singletary, Tlingit, born 1963
This exhibit concluded our one hour tour which passed quickly we needed to scurry to pick boxed lunches.
I thank the......
NC Retired Government Employee's Assoc. for the tour and there was a free lunch...
Free Lunch was catered by Jason's Deli, we had a choice of our sandwiches.
We both had ham on wheat, with packages of mustard or mayo, Miss Vickie's Potato chips,
large kosher pickle, water and a huge chocolate chip cookie. 5 ***** . No photos we grabbed our lunch made a quick exit. Someone in our group wore an entire bottle of perfume. I am very sensitive to strong aromas. Coupled with being inside I had a headache.
As soon as we got outside the headache was gone.
Each person on the tour received a very nice tote with lots of pockets
Everyone loves lots of pockets.
