21 What's the Coolest Thing You've Ever Seen in a Museum?

Gee, that's tough one. I've seen just about every great work of art there is. Missed Picasso's Guernica because I didn't get to the New York Museum of Modern Art untiil 1985. I've been to every major museum in Europe. I know. The coolest thing I've ever seen in a museum was the traveling

David's Coronation of Napoleon. That is FREAKING HUGE... among other things in the Louvre - though going to Moreau's atelier and going through his sketches, as they had them in these frames so we could look at them was damned awesome.

I prefer a Peru, NY Macintosh. It's all about terroir for me, I tend to be an apple snob ROFL.

I've been to the Louvre four times when I was really too young to appreciate it, But I remember that huge Napoleonic painting as well as the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory of course. But the panting that really got to me as a kid was the replica of Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat. I just couldn't wrap my little head around a guy getting killed in a bathtub. Later of course I found out that he had a skin condition thsat kept him in the bathtub.

I got a big kick out of seeing Snoop Dog tour the Louvre and the Monet Gardens during the Paris Olympics. He seems to be a really great
guy.

I like a good Macintosh myself. My late Mom used them in particulaz when making Baked Apples.
