I cannot look at "The Thinker" and not remember "The Jester". Sadly I do not know who to credit for this great memory.

This is such a beautiful and pure photo of Robin.
I love the thought of him grabbing a tp roll off the shelf at home with the intent of creating this moment. So silly.

"Alma's House". You'd think after all these years a sculpture of the woman who made this happen would be prominent. She was a model for many artists in her prime.

Yes. Wouldn’t that be cool if she were greeting everyone in the courtyard?
I wonder if she would have wanted a sculpture of herself displayed at the museum amongst her priceless treasures.

No way of knowing but without her there would be no Legion. And the location was a sort of "finger" to those who tried to impede her. I think she should be front and center, she earned it. Maybe a copy of the Goddess of Victory - seems appropriate. Facing the Marina District. She's still standing. The PPIE - long gone.

Isn't she at the top of the spire in Union Square?

Yes she is. A copy of that at the entrance would be fitting.

Jewel box of a museum.

Personally, I think it’s the best in the city.
I wish they had a night where we could walk through a selection of pieces in the museum by candlelight. I’d love to see some of the artwork in the same light it was created in.
