A rainy day today allowed is to do indoor activities. The other three went to the World War II Museum while I went to the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. All situated close to Lee Circle at which stands a tall statue of Robert E Lee.
The Museum of Southern Art had a touring exhibit of Basquiat and the Bayou. This artist, Jean-Michel Basquiate, 1960 - 1988, had an extremely varied artistic background - comic book, graffiti, photography, film and was befriended by Andy Warhol. He died very early into his career after a fall bladder operation.
Other contemporary exhibits were interesting. I took photos of some interesting works.
Then I walked through the Warehouse Arts district to the Riverwalk Shops. Met up with Don. Had tea and a crepe. Headed back to hotel for a rest.
