Brannigan's Law

Thursday we went to the Museum of Fine Arts and it was awesome! There was so much to see, and it was far beyond what we expected to find. This was the highlight of my trip. I love to see history up close, and to see so much from the Middle East & Egypt, Greece, and India was a true delight.
There were halls and halls of Asian artifacts. Indian Hindu artifacts, Japanese Samurai swords, daggers and beautifully decorated sword hilts (each as unique as the warrior himself), Vietnamese artifacts, African, Oceanic, Greek, Etruscan, and Egyptian mummies, jewelery and statues.
There were halls of ancient Roman works, and rooms relatively modern art from Monet, Picasso, Degas, and Rodin. Being able to touch these things that Pharaohs and Kings would have seen and touched hundreds or thousands of years ago felt special.
We stayed for four hours and still felt like we could have spent more time. We did though eventually move on to the Prudential Center for a nice view of the city...(by then we were pretty tired as you'll see below!).


Here are some videos and pictures of a bunch of the interesting things we saw. I have dozens of pictures, but I'll only post a representative few:
