An American in Cambridge
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/24/06
It was a place that had been mentioned by several people during my visit to Cambridge. So one afternoon, I "dropped in" for a quick visit.
It was a mangificant structure, the stairs in the entrance were quite grand. The building is a beautiful piece of art in itself. The is such a variety of art that I'm sure there is something that will give pleasure to anyone who visits. There were paintings, drawings, sculptures, original writings, sketches enough to please all.
The staff was pleasant and present to answer questions if they arose. The displays were all shown with very complete descriptions adjacent to them. There were several tours of school children, but I'm sure due to the staffs experience, the children were all quite well behaved.
And then there was the shop and the tea room...a wonderful experience. I will be sure and tell people about this wonderful place where you can spend quite a few hours and don't plan to "drop in", but plan to spend many wonderful hours.
