Cold Day In Cleveland

So I took a day off today and we went to Cleveland to the Natural History Museum where most of our pictures of the dinosaurs and stuff turned out blurry.   


They had this really cool rocks and gems section that had some beautiful stuff




There was a cool butterfly collection


and we saw the Beatles


not all were insects


then we went next door to the Cleveland Museum of Art







....all kinds of cool art


this stuff is pretty old


Some cool stained glass


Strange bearded man (very old)


really old Greek and Roman helmets (500 BC)




Egyptian stuff that was even older


Old bearded mask that had an uncanny resemblance


a whole room full of armor and swords, chain mail, and crossbows



this place just kept going and going  

Tiffany stained glass, lamps, and such


These really cool dragon looking things



Max and Noah with moves like Buddha


really old wooden carvings


a whole Modern art section 


....oh....and these cool stained glass looking things.....


upon closer inspection, they are made entirely of butterfly wings!!!!
The artist was a butterfly breeder with some serious talent.


This is definitely gonna be a place we revisit!  The place was too big to see in one run.  
Thousands of incredible things to see.... we had a fun day!
