Today is the third day in Seattle and we decided we didn't want to spend it in Seattle so we went to Tacoma, Washington to goto the museums. We went to the Museum of Glass, Washingtion State History Museum, and Tacoma Art Museum. It was really fun and I learned blowing glass is definitely an art. The glass art is so beautiful and amazing.
At the museum of glass they had a hot shop where they showed you how they blow, shape, and add color to glass. Although we watched them do this for about an hour, I still can't figure out a lot of the stuff is done.
At the art musuem they had amazing calligraphy. Apparently a group of religious people took it upon themselves to write the whole bible in beautiful calligraphy and did pictures to go along with the storys in the bible. These picture were beautiful, colorful, detailed, and they did gold leafing throughout the book.
