Last Saturday, My husband's company had a large corporate formal event at the High Museum of Art and the Louve exhibit. We were fortunate to be there on the first night of the new exhibit's opening. For those of you who don't know, the Louve is a museum in Paris, France. They have partnered with our Art Museum, over the next 4 years, to bring over their prized artifacts and real art, alternating every so often. They had an exhibit before and they changed it out to the "Art of Kings". Basically, this was art and statues that were in the possession of many Kings around the World. I started to take pictures and was told I could unless, I didn't use a flash. I got upstairs and was told that I couldn't take ANY pictures, so I am glad I got what I got. My parents took the boys for the night, while we went and we picked them up Sunday afternoon, after church. It was weird being at church without them, for sure, and quiet. We will go with the boys as a family later on, but this was just for my husband's company. BTW for those of you who don't know, LOH, has been studying Greece and Mr. Athletic has been studying Rome.
Here is a picture of Napolean
This is Homer (The Illiad and the Odessey) and my sweet (but silly) dh, who decided to get in the picture.
This is in the regular collection in the Art Museum, but it is a pencil drawing by Henri Matisse

My grandma took me to the Louve in Paris when I was in high school. It was an awesome experience. One that started my love of history and museums. Unfortunately, I'm the only one in our family with this love (LOL) so we don't go to museums very often.
