National Museum Costa Rica

9.9.11

My love for pre-Columbian art and especially the Costa Rican cultures make this a special museum for me. There are many equally great Costan Rican pieces at museums around the world, notably at the Natural History Museum in New York.

Archeology Museum Istanbul

12.8.11

The Ottoman empire occupied the lands of so many ancient civilizations. And then they gave permission to western european archeological teams to ship it all off to London, Berlin, Paris etc. Perhaps it was for the best. The Museum in Istanbul while not having the master pieces of the Elgin marbles, or the Pergamon frieze is a fantastic museum. Perhaps my favorite thing is Bes, half god of inexhaustible power and strength. You have to see him in person.
Photographed April 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey.

Nazca by Air

8.7.11

The Nazca lines are one of those archeological mysteries that seem so strange since the creators could never have appreciated them as we do today. This was my second trip to see them and what I noticed more this time was the bleak and bareness of the surroundings. Coastal Peru is arid and mostly desert, and what are you doing making kilometer long drawings in the sand and rocks, Dancing?
Photographed November 2009 in Nazca, Peru.

Xalapa Museum of Anthropology

1.7.11

It was my second trip around Mexico, and my father insisted that we go to Xalapa to see the museum, that it was worth a trip to mexico all by itself. Of course he was right, the average quality of the work on display is ridiculously good. Being a huge fan of pre-Columbian art has made this one of my favorite museums in the world.
Photographed October 2009 in Xalapa, Mexico.
