and more PPIE

outstanding artwork - just one of many examples

elaborately inscribed shovels

You can see how impressed I was with my Tuesday visit - two blog posts!

an amazing diorama

five years before (!) we could vote

I had a wonderful time down at the California Historical Society (Mission
and 2nd) yesterday afternoon. SF is celebrating the 1915 World's Fair and
after seeing all the photos and the diorama I really felt like I was walking
around the Palace of Fine Arts and all the astounding displays and buildings
from all over the world. I highly recommend a visit here and then our
deYoung will have an exhibit in October for the PPIE (Panama Pacific
International Exhibition) too - do prepare yourself though, these were
racist and insensitive times. Sigh.
