"Sun., Sept. 19--"Harvard Museums Free Community Day." (HUAM, HMNH, Peabody Museum, Semitic Museum) Discover the many and varied treasures of the Harvard Museums with an afternoon of discovery, culture, and family fun. There will be activities, tours, and performances. Free open house at Harvard's six museums - Sackler Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, Fogg Art Museum, HMNH, Peabody Museum, and Semitic Museum, 1-5 p.m."

I've only been to two of these (Natural History and Peabody) but both of them have some very cool collections. And I've been wanting to go to the Semitic Museum, and feel like I really should go to the art museums. I just thought I'd put the word out there because, hey, free museums. What else do you have to do on a sunday afternoon?

The Semetic Museum is very cool. I've been there, but I'd gladly go back again with you.

Oops! Typo! I think that should read:

"The Semetic Museum is very cool. I've been there, thanks to Mighty Tourguide Sarah, but I'd gladly go back again with you." ;)

The Fogg is also really cool. All the museums are free before noon each and every Saturday too, although it's not so easy to drag oneself to a museum at 9:30am on the weekend. There used to be a very nice Romanian security guard at the Fogg who would expound at length on which paintings looked like his home country.

You can be really impatient sometimes, you know.

I didn't know if you had been there or not, but I've been meaning to ask if you wanted to go with me. I was thinking that if I *do* go museuming that day (there's still a chance Batts and I will go to the folk festival instead), we might want to hit the art museums, because the Semitic is free all the time and those aren't. (Well, they're all always free for me, but I like going with other people and having them get in for free too.) But whether we go that day or a different one, I'd still like to go with you.
