The Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art [click the pic for more info] was recently named "Best Museum" in Travel + Leisure's 2007 Design Awards. Maybe that's why nearly 10,000 visitors from around the world marvel as much at the building as the world-renowned glass collection and active glassmaking studio space inside. I saw one piece inscribed in Greek dating from Jesus’ day!!! [Which I thought was even cooler than the amazing glass blowing demonstration]
Having broken nothing [though there were some close calls], we marched across Monroe Street to the Toledo Museum of Art [click the pic for more info] where we saw more than 30,000 works of art in more than 35 galleries from some guy with a girl's name called Monet and his friends Picasso, Rembrandt, and van Gogh. Seriously. TMA was AWESOME!!! And to think some of these ladies who have lived their entire lives in Toledo have never stepped foot inside!!!When the docents finally chased us out of there [just kidding], our new friend Bob Yano picked us up in his Buckeye Bus and free of charge took us back to Aurora House. Which even if you you're a Wolverine fan, you gotta say, was good of him. That's why we love Yoga Jenn and Buckeye Bob. Thanks for the ride Bob!!! You rock!!!
