I know we're all already thinking good thoughts and helping where and when we can. So instead of destruction, let's talk about those precious microcosms of ours that preserve our cultural history, and the earth's natural history: museums.

The Emperor’s Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City
June 11, 2011–September 11, 2011

The Emperor’s Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City ushers in the Summer of CHINA,
so named because the Museum will feature five exhibitions on Chinese art,
offering a rare opportunity to view objects spanning
three thousand years of China’s history.
If you want a personal tour by me, just ask!
