Whatever Wednesday - Revisit the Michener Art Museum

Doylestown, PA is a quaint town with an artsy bent.  A gem to wander is the James Michener Art Museum.  There's his donated  writing office complete with typewriter, papers,  books, and memorabilia.  He was born in Doylestown. 
This piece is called "Bloodlines" by Holly Wilson.   Very cool and  the bodies are made from cigars. 

 A special exhibit featured Judith Schaechter.   This was the  ceiling for  a special chapel she created. The  colors glowed
Outside, sculptures  abound.  This was a  Holocaust memorial piece.  
And  a clever poem

The museum also features artists from the  New Hope area and Pennsylvania Impressionists.  The building  is  the former Bucks County Jail.   So  much history and art to appreciate.
