Only half of my classmates attended art history class today, so instead of the usual seminar-style discussion on an article (all in Japanese of course), Kushida sensei took us to the Yokohama Art Museum to see the Pompei exhibition. This was my third time at the museum, I saw a French painting exhibition last summer and, "Dai-Kai-Ko: Art of the Period of the Opening of the Port of Yokohama, from Tokugawa to Meiji" last fall. Pompei, while showing art completely outside of my area of research, had some lovely sculptures, mosaics, painted works and fascinatingly, a Roman-style marble bath set up in it's entirety, complete with the plumbing structure. Above is a post-exhibit photo of Sara, Frank and Paula outside of the museum. Kushida sensei had to return to work, but as it was Sara's birthday, the rest of us headed to Bubby's for burgers (I abstained) and dessert. I opted for the huge slice of Red Velvet Cake, consuming a week's worth of sugar and probably enough carcinogenic red food coloring for a lifetime. But really, it was worth it for a delicious taste of Americana shared with some great company.
