It looks like another snowy day in New York City! Here’s a view of the Museum’s 77th Street entrance in 1905, pulled from our Digital Collections. You can spot one of Manhattan’s elevated trains in the background, which operated on the Upper West Side until 1940.
Stay warm this weekend with a visit to the Museum! We're open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm.
My favorite stone is an opal because when I was bullied in school, my mom used to take me to T.J. Maxx after school to look at the opal jewelry. I thought opals were so beautiful, and somehow it made me feel better. We never bought them, just looked.
Flashback Friday ~ an endearing little piece in Garage Magazine from 17 years ago.
Ah yes… the good old days when what I created lived in limbo between an art museum and a natural history museum. Well... thankfully through the blood, sweat, and tears of those of us at the front lines of this art movement, a niche has been carved out for our bastard progeny. Those of you that have followed my work from its humble beginnings will remember that the tagline on my website back in those days was “I call it art, you can call it whatever you want”. This article was just one of many that pondered the question. I’m happy to report there is no longer a question. Taxidermy has not only been acknowledged as a legitimate medium to create fine art, it’s currently a trend in fine art. #BOOM
On rare occasions I will decide to respond to a friend’s text by doodling up a quick thumbs up… and then go slightly overboard. This is a flashback to one of those occasions. (Also, I’m very happy that Mando is back on TV!)
