So there was live music, scavenger hunts, and photo booths but of course I had to run straight to the art. Amidst the beautiful collections were some gorgeous works with a classical setting, and here are a few pics of my favorites. From left to right: Medusa by Vincenzo Gemito (1911), Minerva by Joseph Nollekens (1775), Perseus Confronting Phineus with the Head of Medusa by Sebastiano Ricci (1705-10).
And of course I had to stop at the gift shop. It was a tough choice between a history of classical Europe book and a beautiful copy of Fagle's translation of the Iliad, but I eventually settled for something not classics related (The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century) and a poster of A Young Girl Defending Herself Against Eros by Bouguereau because it is actually a picture of me.
