Tretakoff Musings
Monday, April 12, 2004
 
OK, problems fixed...onto the pix.


San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts at the Legion of Honor museum is having a Deco exhibit. A lot of history, not as much deco as I would like, but it does have the completely reassembled front of the Strand Hotel in Londo, in all it's illuminated glory. Worth it alone, as well as the incredible museum and the fine examples of deco design later in the show.


While I was in Chicago, I headed down to Navy Pier. They have a complete Stained Glass window museum! It was storming out, so I walked through it; staggering. Didn't care much for the rest of Navy Pier, but these stained glass pieces were all it took for me. Even a few Frank Lloyd Wright's!


And speaking of Chicago, this was the skyline from Navy Pier. I also took in the museum of Science and Industry, and got to take a great tour of the Pioneer Zephyr, one of only a handful of amazing Deco trains. See for yourself!
