Strollin' through the Sackler

My Lady Friend and I spent the last few days in the District of Columbia. We visited the Hirshhorn Museum, the National Museums of the American Indian and of Natural History, the Botanic (sic) Garden, the Holocaust Museum, and the Freer and Sackler Galleries.

So, last things first -- the Sackler shots:
