Distractions, reflections

David Ing, at large … Sometimes, my mind wanders

I hadn’t seen my colleagues in New Jersey in a while, so I suggested that we might convene at someplace different.  Near the university is the Newark Museum.  Parking behind the building leads visitors to a gate with a garden.

The life-sized bronze casting of the Toll Booth Collector by George Segal wasn’t the place for admission to the building.

The front entrance to the museum is on Washington Street.

DLH says that museums remind him of bad dates.  The collection seems to aim for breadth over depth, spread over multiple wings.  I liked the architecture of the building more than the pieces chosen.  Annalenna, Marianne and DLH agreed.
