yesterday we went to look at the nationality rooms in the cathedral of learning. here are some of the pictures we took that i thought you might enjoy :)
rumpelstiltskin – from the german room
sleeping beauty – from the german room
from the lithuanian room – called mother education – at one point, they were not to teach their own language, so the mother’s started teaching in the homes
there were also other beautiful textiles – hand embroidered drapes, hand painted glass, and linen wall panels to name a few. craft was such a magnificent part of these rooms, from hand carved ceilings and furniture to egg tempra and mural painting. really worth the tour.

Those windows are so lovely. I think you will be pulling color inspiration from them for quite awhile.

You should have stopped by the 18th floor to say hello. I work in the Cathedral! Hope that all is well.
Jaye :)
wow! Thank you for sharing those photos. We visited the Cathedral during a French club field trip. I wasn’t paying as much attention to spinning then, but I remember being blown away by those rooms. Awesome spot!
What a fascinating place, I love buildings like that, that hold such incredible treasures all between four walls…
