Children at the museum

There were three youngsters at the Field Museum with us the other day. Funny how what interests adults doesn't always interest the younger folk. I thought everybody would get a kick out of the mummy exhibit. Not all. I thought the notion of a simple little barnacle gnawing a hole through stone would fascinate. If so, they hid it well. And I wanted to spend a little (lot) of browsing time with the Qing Ming Festival scroll.

Still, we had a good time.

I'll have to find the scroll online.

  1. What did they like? My experience is that animals and swords are about it.

  2. The Field has a nice exhibit on small life underground (you are shrunk down and wander through textured halls with mites, fungus, earwigs, spiders). The Maori house they liked. Animals can be fun. And, I think, maybe seeing everything briefly.
