Saturday's Agenda

Our Favorite Daughter's agenda for Saturday included a visit to the Oriental Institute Museum on the campus of the University of Chicago. The museum is known for its outstanding display of Egyptian artifacts. I tagged along as we walked through the campus. I've included some of my favorite photos from the museum and then of other eye-catching details.

Looking at this piece we realized walls of the tombs

were not painted as we thought, but the painted pieces

are inset into the wall.

There were 3 mummies in display cases

Some of the painted detailing

Huge statuary

Down the street was this Frank Lloyd Wright house

Tours were full

I find his window designs very interesting

Seen on the walk back to the car

Reminded me of Europe

After the tour and walk, we had pizza on the mind.
