From my trip to Boston - the Museum of Science - they have a fantastic butterfly garden with lots of live (and dead) specimens to gaze at. This is their yellow collection apparently.

Silk Tea gown, 1898–1901 A woman wore a teagown to receive guests in her own home in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These garments were far less formal and structured that typical day or evening wear, and as a result, sometimes show more creative or unusual inspirations, such as historic or non-Western forms of dress. This example is a beautifully made and decorated teagown, which shows the influence of both Japanese embroidered kimonos and 18th century robes à la française. Interior padding intended to provide warmth and the deliberate choice of a magenta lining which picks up the purple details in the lily motifs are both signs of superior design and workmanship. Furthermore, the asymmetry of the embroidery is in keeping with the Art Nouveau aesthetic. While the maker is no longer known, the smocking of the bodice clearly relates to the distinctive Liberty & Company fashions in vogue during this period, and the store might easily have been the source for this unparalleled example.

MUSEUM SECRETS: An Ancient Egyptian Family Feud

A mother with a grudge, a two metre long will and a bit of sibling rivalry - no, we're not talking about our latest family dramas or that new Netflix series. We're talking about Naunakhte, a woman who lived in a small village called in ancient Egypt, and the story of a family argument that still sounds familiar over three millennia later. In today's episode of our Museum Secrets, learn more about Naunakhte's will and what it reveals to us about daily life, love and family in ancient Egypt.

Willard LeRoy Metcalf (American, 1858 – 1925) The Falls Oil on canvas Private collection #Repost @paintings_i_love № 3087 • Willard Leroy Metcalf was an American artist born in Lowell, Massachusetts. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and later attended Académie Julian, Paris. After early figure-painting and illustration, he became prominent as a landscape painter. He was one of the Ten American Painters who in 1897 seceded from the Society of American Artists. For some years he was an instructor in the Women's Art School, Cooper Union, New York, and in the Art Students League, New York. In 1893 he became a member of the American Watercolor Society, New York. Generally associated with American Impressionism, he is also remembered for his New England landscapes and involvement with the Old Lyme Art Colony at Old Lyme, Connecticut and his influential years at the Cornish Art Colony. • #Metcalf #WillardMetcalf #NeoImpressionism #ArtForEveryone #art #FineArtPainting #Paintingoftheday #peinture #landscape #historiadelarte #storiadellarte #peintures #historyofart #arthistory #beauxarts #instamuseum #artmuseum #pittura #ArtHistorian #peintre #malerei #19thcenturyart #20thcenturyart #OldMasters #Impressionism #PostImpressionism #PostImpressionisme #Impressionismo #EuropeanArt #Impressionisme https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj4V9ZRoZML/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#柴田コレクション #九州陶磁文化館 #佐賀県立九州陶磁文化館 東京の柴田夫妻がコレクションした有田磁器。美術館に1万点以上も寄贈したそうです😳 興味深いのは，好みのデザインなどに偏ることなく，江戸時代の初めから，幕末まで歴史的変遷が判るようにコレクションされていることです。 #備忘録　として投稿していましたが、一旦終わりにします😅 陶器市関連は出します😊 美術館は最近リニューアルされて、有田焼を中心に九州各地の古陶磁などが展示され、歴史、文化、産業として等、様々な視点からの展示で、陶磁器に興味のない人々にも分かりやすい展示になっていました 何よりも一度にこれだけの陶磁器が見られるのは、圧巻でした 欲を言えば、展示方法に工夫が必要かな？と思いました 展示品の中央に展示ガラスの繋ぎ目があったり、照明が影になって見にくいものが多かったので、工夫してほしいなぁと。 #有田　#arita #saga #佐賀 #古伊万里 #koimari #porcelain #museum #instamuseum #thekyushuceramicmuseum #ig_japan #japaneseculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpdVR-v5CB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
