I previously posted shots of the rotunda at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. This one shows the ceiling of the rotunda, with the stained glass window in the center, directly over the statue from yesterday. The details of this huge room were a real treat to explore. 2/21/20
Yesterday I posted a view of the rotunda at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. This view includes the sculpture in the middle of the room, titled Heroic Figure, by Julia Bracken Wendt, 1914. On the green stone around the base, were the words history, science, music. In this sculpture there are three women, back to back, all holding up a leaded glass lighted sphere--the sun? the moon? the earth? 2/20/20
I spent a few hours today up in Los Angeles visiting with my daughter and family, who were down from Canada. We went to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. This i,mage is from inside the Haage Family Rotunda, from one of the older parts of the museum. There were many wonderful architectural details in the rotunda. 2/19/20
