Thursday - Hey, Where did Everyone Go??

Thursday morning we visited the Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno (The Museum of Modern Art).  I love and appreciate classic art - but modern art just makes me laugh sometimes.  Seems like a classic artist starts out with an end in mind. Modern art seems like a free-for-all and the talent is naming it something clever. Some photos are below...

We left the museum at 1pm and walked out onto the usually busy streets of Cuenca, only to notice that it looked like a ghost town. It took us a couple blocks to realize that the opening ceremonies of the World Cup had just started - and it definitely made an impact on the number of people out and about yesterday.

We ate at Don Colon's restaurant at it's new location near the Park Calderon.  Dana had a salad and I had pork in pineapple sauce.  The almuzeros were $4 person with fresh squeezed juice and flan for dessert.

Mini Chalk Boards for People to Draw On - Found at least one GNR Fan in Cuenca

All the Sculptures were Pretty Cool

Then there were these dozen plus pages of triangles on graph paper - Modern Art?

 

Then there were these sketches of Dead Dogs

Not sure if this was part of the exhibit - or just an electrical outlet?

Yes, your next bad tile job could be - Modern Art!

Bob Petty, who knew, we've been getting Modern Art for years off our Color Copier!
