My very first travel log is up! If you check out, please tell me what you think! What you thought sounded interesting, what food looked good... I'd love to hear!! (°◡°♡) https://inkcaps.neocities.org/bedroom/travels/

ALSO, let me know if the Alpha PNG is too obtrusive while reading, I wasn't sure! (while I'm here, I'm learning in real time that you probably shouldn't open an image link in an iframe... will see if how to have it open in a new nab whoops)

Your log is looking great, I'm glad you had a great time in New York even though there were a few bumps at the start!! Those paintings in the MoMA looked gorgeous– particularly those panels of Monet's water lilies!

love love love your travel log !!

What a fabulous trip! I also LOVEDD the Brooklyn museum when I went. It's one of my most favorite memories. I feel you on how the age of some of those pieces are so staggering! This was immature but when no one was looking I took my chance to quickly and lightly touch a 5000 year old sarcophagus. It was beautifully overwhelming. I'd have loved to have seen that place setting exhibit! I'm glad you had a good trip :)

Oh wow! I've been before but never been to Moma - this makes me want to go back!

@kiley thank you!! I'm happy that everything smoothed out in the end too. The MoMA had so many treasures, but Monet's water lilies was a treat especially!! His sense of color is so amazing! ;o; ♡

@tabi THANK YOOUUUU that means a lot considering your recent diary entry was what kicked my butt in gear with making this!!

@cheytopia our decision to go to the Brooklyn Museum was spur of the moment but it was wonderful to explore!! Reading about your experiences at the museum made me smile too, and they're totally understandable--when you're face to face with an object as old as that it's like... really powerful! It puts your own life and lifespan into perspective tbh!!

@cheytopia The Dinner Party is a permanent display at the museum, so when you return someday, it's a must-see! You can spend a ton of time at that installation alone ♡♡

@percevalprintpress if you're back in NYC, then it's a must-see! The museum itself is an architectural feat and beautiful too!!

the dinner party sounds AMAZING, especially the part about it including “low” forms of art associated with femininity. indeed, fiber art pieces are just as worthy of being displayed in museums!! the craftsmanship and time it takes to create a piece of embroidery… there’s nothing “low” about that! all in all, it was lovely to read about your trip and I’m glad you got to spend time with your family ♥♥♥

looks like a packed 5 days! i can't believe i didn't know about the dinner party before! sounds so so cool

@marina 100% with you!! By The Dinner Party focusing on art forms historically dominated by women, it furthers the point it's trying to make to begin with! Really beautiful stuff--and thank you so much for reading, it makes me happy hearing you enjoyed it!! :D ♡♡

@tillie We really made the most of our time there, it was nice! And I HIGHLY recommend looking more into The Dinner Party, each place setting is incredibly detailed and full of thought, care, and symbolism. I didn't know about it either until learning about the museum, and it's for sure a new fave! ;o; ♡
