This is the final post on the amazing museum. The first shot shows some folk art. I didn’t seem to take a label picture, so who knows what really caught my eye here.

But the next gallery was as lovely as it was comprehensive. Musical instruments from the Renaissance. I’m lost in revery.

And then, the period clothing! Oh my ! what a great collection and fabulous exhibitions. Just because a museum has great holdings doesn’t mean they show they off in an engaging, beautiful, informative way. This museum delivers!

Love the next display! Fascinating to see what held those crazy gowns. Can you imagine walking around in the shape of a hedge?

Look at this jewelry and its original case from c. 1760! My oh my!

The new style that swept Europe in the 1770s!

And children’s clothing too!

And the shoes!

And the ivory collections! The tusks alone are worth the visit!

One last look at this marvelous place as I depart. A museum goer’s dream!
