When this museum opened about 30 years ago they were trying to be very serious. Nowadays, they don’t have much well known art, they have gone woke, but they also have great activities for kids. So it’s easier to ignore the woke.
Great place to take grandkids.
They have a fun play area, here is Einav cooking.
Legos and magna tiles – both items that Eyal has at home, but it is so much more fun when one is out and about.
It is a cowboy museum, so riding the horse is a must. Einav said this was her favorite, Eyal said his favorite was all the guns, I love how much of a boy he is – and yes, all those old guns are beautifully decorated.
The green light screen. You may notice that most of Einav’s shirt disappeared into the background – although it looked light Turquoise to me – it has enough green to disappear into the background.
‘Indigenous modern art’. cultural appropriation only goes in one direction. this quilt pattern is called either Lone Star or as I remember from over 40 years ago – Star of Bethlehem. Certain tribes adopted it – which is fine, but now suddenly the original white women who created this pattern no longer exist.
This is made out of computer motherboards and it a wonderful example of old and new, without the social commentary.
A driftwood beaded wall hanging.
Another craft I love, beadwork.
This quilt is made up of star destroyers with the millennium Falcom superimposed with embroidery. Very lovely!
A bee keeper outfit, adorable bees!
Northwest style artwork, probably computer generated weaving.
Gorgeous in its’ own right. I do enjoy a visit here.
