"Me touch?": A Trip to the Walker Art Museum

Ana and I visisted the Walker last week, a comtemporary art Museam overlooking downtown Minneapolis (there are some gorgeous vistas). I thought the wide hallways, abrstact paitnings and eight flights of marble stairs would be a good way to spend the morning. We arrived early and had the museam essentailly to ourselves for an hour. She loves the paintings, asking, "me touch?" The curators made sure she didn't. I did keep her away from some of the galleries, however. Matthew Barney's "CreMaster Cycle" is something I'd be hesitant to teach in class, much less show Ana.
