Back Story
Jerald snapped this picture of his six year old brother, Rocklin, as he gazed upon the Space shuttle enterprise for the first time. Rocklin has dreamed of being an astronaut since he was a toddler and was thrilled to finally be able to see the space shuttle up close. In this photograph Jerald captures not only the moment, but also the awe and wonder and excitement they shared.

Blurring Time and Place in Venice by Roberta Smith

Artempo
This is a review in the art section of the New York Times of an exhibit at the Fortuny Museum in Venice Italy entitled "Artempo: Where Time Becomes Art." The exhibit is eclectic and unusual. This New York Times online review includes a really interesting slide show of selections from the exhibit.

Room of Wonders!

Room of Wonders was developed for FRAMES, the French Regional and American Museum Exchange, a coalition of 23 museums that exchange works of art, technologies and resources. The game, Room of Wonders, is stocked with objects from these museums, antiques, are missing from the cabinet of curiosities belonging to Christophe-Paul, Marquis de Robieu. The player must search the globe for the mission object and learns all sorts of things relating to the artifacts, arts, antiques, history, geography and anthropology, along the way! The objects sought include a stone sculpture of a Chinese sea monster, a decorated shield from the Solomon Islands, and African mask and a Hopi kachina doll.

This wonderful game is part teaching tool, part Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago meets I Spy. The target audience is 6-12 year olds but I think it is a fun way to pick up some interesting information and is entertaining for all!
