A wonderful, whirlwind day. Started out visiting U of Minnesota's new alumni center. In their history room, one wall is lined with textbooks the university has required. Wonderful architecture. In the PM had lunch at the Walker Museum of Modern Art where the reception for funeral of Walter Mondale's daughter was being held. It was designed by the same man who did the museums in Bilbao Spain and LA. It's right next to the bridge across the Mississippi that goes from the Minneapolis to St Paul campuses of U of M.
We spent the rest of the afternoon at the Museum of Art. It is fabulous, and we didn't even make a dent. On exhibition is the St John bible. The first handwritten bible since the printing press was invented. No pictures allowed but I did include a picture of a seder plate made of empty cans. We could spend days there. Would definitely come back for that.
Finally, on to the Guthrie Theatre where we had dinner at the Sea Change Restaurant. Just fabulous and we all had something different. Finally, finally we say Much Ado About Nothing. Staged in 1900's setting. Lots of fun but very long. Didn't get home until after 11 PM. Much thanks to Dick Pfohl, our wonderful guide today.
