A New Museum

To visit a museum 
Where you’ve never been before
Means you have the opportunity 
To amble and explore.

At the Worcester* Art Museum
Were mosaics on display 
And some special arms and armor
In an orderly array.

There were works by famous artists
And a treasure trove amassed
Just awaiting our perusal
As we slowly moseyed past.

In the gift shop, objects beckoned 
So I bought a little treat
To remind me of my visit 
And to make the day complete.

*pronounced “Wooster,” like “wood”

I love mosaics, they are magnificently unique. I'd love to know what your little purchase was. I saw the moving Van Gogh exhibit last year. It was wildy exciting. It sounds like you had a marvelous time.

I’ll only get to browse museums if and when they go online.

I live a little over an hour from the Worcester museum in MA. It houses one of the largest and most important collections of Winslow Homer's works. Museum browsing is a favorite thing-to-do when on vacation. / Maurice

I like the idea of going to a museum. I've been to many. I look for new ones every time I travel. I'm glad you enjoy them too.
