Robert Rauschenberg, Dam, 1959. The work consists of oil paint and cuts of various textiles, including an entire pants pocket. These materials are layered on top of a bare canvas. #museumsoftheworld #museum #museums #museumpics #museumpic #artmuseum #art #museum #washingtondc #dcmuseums #dcartscene #washingtonmuseum #hirshhorn #hirshornmuseum #contemporaryart #smithsonianmuseum #smithsonian #robertrauschenberg #đầm

Mark Bradford, Pickett’s Charge. In this landmark site specific installation, Bradford challenges us to consider the current political climate through the lens of the most divisive and violent junctions in our nation’s history, the American Civil War. The artist uses 360 degree cyclorama by French artist Paul Philippoteaux depicting this culminating battle on the final day of the Battle Of Gettysburg as his starting point. Here Bradford commingles reproductions of Philppoteaux’s painting with layers of colored paper and dense materials on the canvas which he shreds. Bradford’s art encourages us to reconsider the ways that historical narratives change and are contested over time, as well as how a seemingly remote historical epoch remains relevant today. #museumsoftheworld #museumsoftheworld #museum #museums #museumpics #museumpic #artmuseum #art #museum #washingtondc #dcmuseums #dcartscene #washingtonmuseum #hirshhorn #hirshornmuseum #contemporaryart #smithsonianmuseum #smithsonian #markbradford #markbradfordartist #pickettscharge

He’s home! My not so little bear is back home!! He had the best time and grew so much in one week. Only thing he would’ve changed was he wanted more time in the Smithsonian and a trip to the zoo. Our goal is to visit a zoo every where we go. I’m so proud of him and so grateful for his school, teachers, staff and chaperones. Yay for hands on, elbow deep learning! #expeditionarylearning #washingtondc #crewtrip #smithsonian #smithsonianmuseum #lovethiskidsomuch #coolestkidever #sogladheshome #mybestpal @rmsel_denver @smithsonian @smithsonianzoo #futurezoologist @solxap.the.stoic

A quick tour of Washington, DC on my way to the airport. When I take business trips I don’t have much time to see the sights, but I did make a guide on how to see any city in. 24 hours or less. Sometimes that all you get, but you have to make the most of it. This is how we maximized our time in Dubai. It was incredible all the places we visited in 24 hours! I’m giving my guide to the students taking my new course, You can Travel Anywhere. I’m showing participants how to plan their dream vacations. It’s so good.

In January, @oliviacantalupo and I departed Hanover, PA to begin our great journey to the American Southeast. Our first stop on this journey was McLean, VA- a suburb of Washington DC. 3 months and 7 states later, we end this trip where it started- at the Capitol of this great nation.  Washington, the District of Columbia, was made the nation's capitol as a compromise to appease the northern and southern states. It sits between Virginia and Maryland but does not belong to any state. Instead it is a district- the only in the US. It does not have senators or representatives in Congress but it does have electors in the electoral college. It exists at the end of the New-Boston-DC Megapolis and the beginning of the Southeast Atlantic Coast. Today the District of Columbia is an icon in and of itself. It is home to the Capitol Building, the White House, the Washington and Jefferson Monuments, and so many other important places. The Smithsonian Institute runs many institutions around D.C., providing free entry to those seeking knowledge. Olivia and I visited the National Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Arboretum, and Museum of the American Indian. We also saw a Washington Nationals Baseball Game. It is the peak of spring right now. The flowers are blooming and the weather is warming. We have functionally been chasing spring this entire trip, but it is good to see life spreading north once more. The end of one journey is the beginning of another. We may be back in the Northeast, but not for long... #travel #washingtondc #capitol #usa #unitedstates #flowers #botanicalgardens #arboretum #nationalarboretum #smithsonian #nationalmall #washingtonmonument #capitolbuilding #museumoftheamericanindian #nationalzoo

Today is #arborday ! Some of my favorite things in the whole world are trees. There is so much variety in the wood, seeds, leaves, flowers, fruit, shape, and benefits. They are renewable sources that provide so much for our world, including paper for BOOKS! I loved this book! It was just astounding to read all the information (with plenty of pictures and fun facts of course!). This would make a valuable resource for any classroom. The book includes connections from trees to Christian symbols and historical events which was also interesting. The book is divided into 4 sections: 🌳How trees work 🌳Non-flowering Trees 🌳Flowering trees 🌳Gazetteer (garden trees, famous trees and woodlands, conservation, etc) ⚠️Evolutionary and environmental content. ⚠️Having grown up in a professional arborist family, I know that there is so much tree care wisdom that would contribute much to a book like this. This book should have included both deforestation issues AND replanting efforts/responsible logging which is part of a large-scale crop rotation in the timber industry. Trees are designed to grow healthier when they are cultivated and cared for by people. #dogearedwanderer #thetreebook #smithsonian #dkpublishing #trees #treework #treeservice #logging #homeschoolresources #homeschoolmom #homeschooldad #knowyourtrees #godmadetrees #responsiblelogging #timber

Not into considering the original languages of scripture? Just scroll along, like you did in 2013! We're good! Tartaria, giants, the shenanigans of the Smithsonian, ancient history, mounds/ mounds Indians, Egyptian iconography, terraforming in the US, and ancient structures in the US all inform my personal opinion on this matter, building (of course!!!) on a firm foundation in the scriptures as studied in the original languages of Greek and Hebrew. (Be sure to listen to the whole video as there are some observations that might surprise you!) We each have the choice to believe scripture, or to believe in the traditions of man. Study scripture yourself. Study hard. Then form your opinion. :) #israel #jerusalem #Bible #tartaria #giants #smithsonian #ancient #oldbuildings #mounds #moundsstatepark https://youtu.be/ClKQXMa7VLw

Closeup portrait of Vodun priest and Chief Kpassenon. After making several “serious” portraits(previous posts) of Kpassenon while he was in his official priestly mode, he “broke character” and cracked a big smile for me!

Four Talks (2021) by @laurieandersonofficial—a raven, a parrot, a canoe, and a shelf whisper, murmur, reach out, shout at one another in a room full of words and pictures, and songs, and jokes, and thoughts on what the world was like. Laurie Anderson painted her stream of consciousness onto @hirshhorn walls for hours in the course of two weeks in 2021, as part of an exhibit of her work there (it was remarkable!). How lucky we are to still be able to visit this remnant of it. #laurieanderson #fourtalks #fourtalksinstallation #hirshhorn #installationart #artistsoninstagram #transplantedtatar #contemporaryart #multimediaart #multimediaartist #womeninthearts #dcmuseums #smithsonian #thingstodoindc #walkwithlocalsdc #onlyindc #exposeddc #dctography #igdc #igdcfamily #dcmoms #dcmoments #dmvkids #mydccool #theotherdc #dcist #popville #acreativedc #dc #mytinyatlas

Remembering the great Johnny Shines on his birthday. I took this photo in 1991 when he played on the National Mall in Washington, DC, at the Folklife Festival. A year later he was gone. It was a hot, muggy day. Mississippi weather. What an honor to see him play. —— #johnnyshines #smithsonian #folklifefestival #bluesphotography #35mmfilmphotography #concertphotography #concertphotographer #stagephotography #stagephotographer #rockphotography #rockphotographer #musicphotography #musicphotographer #festivalphotography #festivalphotographer #performancephotography #performancephotographer #gigphotographer #gigphotography #parkinsonsphotographer

...when hubby points out HIS U.M.A /Umbilical Mechanical Assembly on a picture in the museum store! [ lol, he name is on a patent for that!] We made our 'timed entry tixs ' about 1 week ago! And the line was around the corner...for ticket holders _ we had 11 am entries & again we left near closing 4:30... ( Hours 10 - 5 pm) Guessed I would be a perfect height for an American Airline Constellation _ funny Brion remembered how mad his dad were paying expensive 'seats that faced each other ' - when, all he care about at 5 yr old flying in one was the snacks...not that he was flying! We watched both planetarium movies at senior discount and the 2nd show was $2.00 off! Still the museum is 'under renovation' on 2 floors. We read about famous pilots, astronauts, and of course the Wright Brothers. Even spotted a tiny wood piece & wing fabric from the orginal plane 1st flight at Kills Devil's hill that Armstrong tuck into his spacesuit when he took the 1st steps on the moon in 1969. 66 yrs after 1st flight... #Smithsonian #nasm #brionandroxiegetaways

The @smithsonianacm is a place for seekers, of action, and of pride. They’ve been powered by the people since 1967, telling the stories of a community and place still being written. Featuring the museum’s logo, this collection is inspired by the museum’s exterior façade which also inspired the ACM logo. Much like the museum itself, the ACM brick mark marries the ideas of place, people, time & history, simultaneously looking to the past while firmly placed in the present and future.
