Our guide wearing a more formal dress shoe hat, Mine is a Hoka! She said, "People have done this in bars when I wear this, but you're the first to do it it here in the Museum." Not sure if that was meant to be bad or good thing?

Thinking all these wishes are lottery related? Prove me wrong ; ) OK, maybe some wishes are Bucs, Bolts, Rays, Rowdies related. May be how we got to be Champa Bay?

Of course kids have never seen a rotary phone, so this one puzzles in more ways than one. Yes it evolved from an actual lobster dinner. There may have been wine involved also. And you "butter" call me.

Canosa's artistic challenge. Each blind sketch done from a slightly different angle. If you don't find this fascinating as you walk around the room seeing every drawing, looking back at the tree, you've likely never held a crayon.

The Ascension of Christ has been a popular subject matter of Old Masters, such as Caravaggio, Titian, and Rembrandt, whom Salvador Dali highly admires. Dali said that his inspiration for The Ascension of Christ came from a "cosmic dream' that he had in 1950, some eight years before his painting was completed.
