Neues Museum

The Neues Museum reopened while I was living in Berlin. It was packed for months and I could not believe that the city had another first class museum. I think my favorite piece is the golden crown calendar.

Armadillo Scrub

I was in the Peruvian jungle, when a young American who was apprenticing to be a shaman told me about a stuffed armadillo he saw in a market in Lima. He asked if they do use the stuffed armadillo in rituals, the stall owner said "no", while heaving a cage with a live armadillo on the table, "we use this one."

You would never imagine the humble church would have such an astounding ceiling. It just makes me think what Romanesque Europe would have been like, before the wars and fires consumed most art.

This was such an emotional and rewarding experience. We were the only white people, not even any local Lima folk were there. Everybody was so happy to see us, to include us, to laugh and play with us. The atmosphere so charged. These simple people so filled with love and energy is one of the many things that makes Peru.

My love for pre-Columbian art and especially the Costa Rican cultures make this a special museum for me. There are many equally great Costan Rican pieces at museums around the world, notably at the Natural History Museum in New York.

This process has probably been the same for thousands of years. Still very special.
