While my parents spent the day shopping at the Houston Galleria, I visited the Museum of Fine Arts (MFAH).
While there, I learned about Buncheong, traditional Korean stoneware, Chaturanga, an Indian strategy game board, and viewed a wonderful collection of Pre-Columbian gold from Houston philanthropist Alfred C. Glassell, Jr.
I also viewed a great exhibit by photojournalist Roman Vishniac who captured Jewish refugees in Poland before the start of World War II, which is reminiscent to today's Syrian refugees.
At the museum, there were paintings by Camille Pissarro, Eugene Louis Boudin, William Adolphe Bouguereau, Winslow Homer, Gilbert Stuart, Frederic S. Remington, Edward Hopper, Leon Kroll, and Georgia O'Keefe.
