Cobra by halkia

Cobra

11.15 am: Pouring rain this morning so we took the girls to the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. Cobra was a European avant-garde movement active from 1949 to 1951.

The museum was smaller than I expected but we had a lovely time nevertheless. At the entrance the girls were presented with a little art box containing pencils and paper and they sat down to draw at the reading table seen in this shot.

I re-opened my extra album today (for another family portrait): http://365project.org/halkia/themes-extra/2011-06-18

Love this shot - very 'spare' - a Fav. And I love museums that do that for kids - it's the difference between a great day out and a disaster (even now they're teenagers!)

That's great that the girls had something fun to do...win-win for everyone.:-) I love all the glass letting the light stream into the room. Great processing too.

Nog iets moois gezien in het museum?

@machteld Het gebouw zelf is erg mooi, vind ik. Verder is museumbezoek tegenwoordig voornamelijk een kwestie van de meisjes in het oog en het gareel houden. Er is niet echt gelegenheid om de kunst zelf goed op je te laten inwerken...

Love the 'space' in this one. Great feel and I can see why it made the PP - well done!
