Library of Congress
Thu. March 25, 2010.
The Library of Congress was extremely cool. We were looking forward to it but also surprised about just how cool it was. Two photo-free spaces were Thomas Jefferson's library and original editorial cartoons from the Washington Post. Cool to see the paste up and line drawings on the originals.

This is a marble mosaic of the Minerva of Peace. She is the goddess of wisdom.
The Owl is Minerva's symbol. Amelia's second favorite animal after the Panda.
Great Hall (entry). More Minerva's -- as a statue this time.
