My own private museum

Visiting the Florence Griswold Museum today, the experience was as soothing as any museum I've visited in the past. Beautiful weather in a serene setting made for a wonderful visit. Although I've enjoyed other museums in the past, this visit was made special, as the grounds were nearly empty. Not having to "compete' with the other patrons made the viewing that much more enjoyable. The price was a very reasonable $7.00 for students, not much higher for adults. There's a short 10 minute presentation that packs a lot of punch. Florence Griswold bascially turned lemons into lemonade, as she started taking in borders to help pay for expenses, and help create a movement in the art world. The grounds, while not overly large, are extremely beautiful. There are various structures, as well as outside grounds. The Lieutenant River behind the Krieble Gallery has a lot to offer scenery wise. The artist and painting I choose was "Captain Lord House" Oil on Canvas by Willard Metcalf. Take care, Tad
