Wow- What an amazing day I had today! First- look at the Yarra River and the building s of the CBD in the gorgeous sun! (Mark and I were at an apt on the 60th floor of the very very tall building in the first picture. Stomach turning for both of us (get that from Dad.) Then, I crossed the river, past the performing arts center (the building with the white spire) then on to the National Gallery of Victoria. The NGV had Guggenheim works on exhibit (from NYC, Bilboa, Venice), fashion and textile exhibits, and an impressive hall of contemporary art including: Warhol, Rothko, Krasner, Pollack, Hockeney, ect. I was there for several hours, had lunch, then went on to the Royal Exhibition Hall (pictures with fountain in front) and Melbourne Museum. This enormous museum has everything: Dinosaurs, Aboriginal art and history, Victoria history, an indoor rain forest, human body exhibit, bugs, native animals (stuffed), fossils, marine life, industrial art display.... the works. I still have a few more museums to hit but these were really inspiring.
Love,
Alexis
