exhibition: annie leibowitz

today, my friend C and i went to see annie leibowitz's exhibition.


i've lived in the sf bay area for almost 15 years but have not known about the legion of honor museum until now. situated in lincoln park, it's not a very large museum but it reminded me of the louvre in paris (well, maybe just a little...)


see what i mean by "reminded me of the louvre"?
it has a miniature glass pyramid replica at the entrance.


sorry... no pictures from the leibowitz exhibition, because cameras were off limits in that area.

we also went to the other permanent collections in the museum.
here's a beautiful satin footstool from the early 19th century

very interesting porcelain teapot... maybe this was the inspiration for the teapot song

this simple blue teacup and saucer set was my favorite among the porcelain collection


at the museum entrance, we found an amazing glass sculpture. it was composed of many hand-blown glass tubes. the sculpture looked fragile yet strong. it's a preview of an upcoming exhibition by the artist dale chihuly.


may i present my own masterpiece... lol
