The Cooper Hewitt Museum on Fifth Avenue…..part of the Smithsonian………is in the Andrew Carnegie Mansion…….
The Museum itself is as unique as the exhibitions.
Gallery Goer……..and the map of the state of Michigan………
Me…….in the wallpaper room……….in front of a wallpaper that I designed.
Art before digital………and the creation of art today created digitally.
Renate………a fashion designer………is visiting from Paris……..so we toured the exhibit together.
The museum has a garden…..perfect for a lunch break………
It was a fun day of shopping………….5th Avenue……….a flea market………a silver emporium………and a crafts show. [I am exhauested]. But I did make 5 purchases…………gifts for family…….friends………and my stockbroker!
The TAXIDERMY DEER HEAD………..was NOT among my purchases.
However…………..this Courtly Check Moose Head at MacKenzie Childs did tempt me…………..at $15,000 [cough]………….but it was the $695 delivery charge that killed the purchase.
