Another museum heavy day. After dropping our hosts Jeffrey and Bill at the airport, we headed into the heart of Austin to the Bullock Texas State History Museum. It seemed like exhibits have been redone fairly recently. For a state museum, under the purview of the lieutenant governor, the bilingual labels were pretty brave and balanced. But the Civil War exhibit was not updated. Laura couldn’t help but wonder if something is going on behind the scenes.
​
We then headed to UT’s special collections, the Harry Ransom Center. They had an exhibition about film storyboards, drawn from their amazing collections. Oh, and a Gutenberg Bible and a fine Frieda Kahlo.

Eerie how a landmark can bring back memories. We couldn’t pass the tower on the UT campus without recalling the 1966 shooting. Who could have imagined such an act of senseless violence would become commonplace?

We were too tired to take on the Blanton but did stop at the Ellsworth Kelly chapel, which is lovely. They are relandscaping around the museum, so it’s a mess, but the cool sculptural sunshades should be welcome when it’s all done.

And we finally found a book we are enjoying listening to: the newest Martin Walker mystery with Bruno and his basset hound, To Kill a Troubadour.
