Museum of Fine Arts French Painting Exhibit?
nickisbox asked:
In the first main room, after entering, there is a painting on the wall near the exit to the next room. It is a large painting and it has an aqueduct/bridge in it with a countryside setting. Also, the caption with it talks about that artist spending time in Spoleto, Italy and using that as influence in this painting. I am wanting to find out who this artist was and what is the name of this painting. Thanks!
This is definately not a Monet. it is the first room once you get the audio tour. same room as the two portraits that are part of the audio tour, but it is a big painting with an aquaduct, not just some random bridge.

meteorite specimens prior to 1790 hard to find?
Crazy Eagle asked:
The French Academy of Science proclaimed at in 1772 that meteorites were just superstitious nonsense, because rocks could not fall from the sky. But, did museums really throw out their specimens? Is it hard to find meteorite specimens in Europe that date prior to 1790? Anyone know this? Thanks, I am writing a book on the history of science.

I need a summer exchange program to France. Though I don’t know how to look for one. (the one I want)?
yag1891 asked:
I need a summer exchange program to France where I can stay in a beautiful vine-yard for the summer…is there such? I’d like to remain in a vine-yard, it’d be a cool experience. Or a castle…I am 16 years old so…I don’t apply to programs that require you to be over 18. If not, what is the best exchange program that offers visits to lots of places, preferably castles and museums and vine-yards and cafes etc…that offer French classes, too, obviously…and how much would it be? how expensive can it get? if I save at least 1000 dollars, is that enough?

Have you ever heard of the “Creation Museum”, and what do you think about its controversial existence?
yachadhoo asked:
-
Like the doubter, Thomas…I am a very wary believer.
After all, I was an atheist who read the Bible to prove it wrong in 1995 before becoming a child of God.
And this I confess as a negative thing, not a boast in particularly good quality that I have.
Reasonable skepticism is one thing, but doubting and denial is another.
BUT, this all being said…
I happened upon this the other day:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/bios/
Regarding a “Creation Museum”.
It appears that some groups, like “DefCon” (so-called “Defenders of the Constitution”), have campaigns that are opposing the very existence of a “Creation Museum”:
http://ga3.org/campaign/creationmuseum
Personally, it is all a bit to surreal to me that groups like “DefCon” even exist…and oppose a *freaking* museum. (please excuse the French).
And along with movie Expelled, it smells too much like “Conspiracy Theory” kind of stuff, to me…
Oh…and here is an awesome movie trailer for the movie, Expelled, by the way:
http://www.expelledthemovie.com/playground.php
You don’t want to miss it.
But in any event, I am traveling this weekend, and as it turns out, I will be staying within 10 minutes of this “Creation Museum”:
http://www.creationmuseum.org/
So, my questions are:
Have you ever been to the Creation Museum?
If so, what did you think?
Is it worth going to?
And, of course, are you a Creationist or a non-Creationist?
And did it change your mind in any way, shape, or form…about anything?

skalite:
I did as you suggested…and must admit I cracked up after seeing the picture on the first search result (and is worth sharing):
http://illusorytenant.blogspot.com/2007/12/lolcreationists.html
Even still, though…I like the comment on comic book museums.
And being ever cautious, I refuse to be swayed either way - but will consider all sides of a debate. And I appreciate a good laugh regarding the “extremists” of all debates…at times.
But, we’ll see where I “end” up on this issue - may the Lord guide me, and us all, into the truth.
Of course, God did create the world.
But exactly how He did this, and how it all “works”…well…us “humans” are like monkeys trying to explain how a nuclear power plant was built and how it works.

Oh my…
Is this subtly poisonous, or just plain hysterical:

A question on period costume museum?
ABC asked:
Is there such museum exist within the European continent? I’m currently into the Victorian and ‘Pride and Prejudice’ times and also interested in other costumes too e.g. Greek, Medieval, olden-day-French-costumes, etc; they are very interesting to draw. I would appreciate if you could name the museums for the resources that I have are useless. I would prefer places in England but I am perfectly fine with other countries.
I want to be veterinary technician
Thanks
