Saturday at the Museum with Grandpa Skip

Grandpa Skip arrived Friday evening and we are so happy to have him visit.  It is over-due since he was supposed to visit in summer but he got too sick to come up.  Yesterday we drove to Stanford and checked out the Anderson Collection and the Cantor Arts Center.  The kids and I visited both for my birthday but it was fun to see it again with Skip, Nana and Tom.  

First we checked out the Anderson Collection.

 Watching a video to learn about the artist.

 Nana, Serafina, Grandpa Skip and Leo posing in front of the Jackson Pollack.  This piece hung over the Anderson's daughter's bed when she was a kid.

 The had a chance to make their own modern art and hang it on the wall.

 At the Cantor, there was another hands-on activity.

 There was also this interesting piece that looked like wallpaper with little dots but when you used the accompanying magnifying glasses you could see the dots were little faces.

 They have a large Rodin sculpture garden including this Gates of Hell.
