1. I'm not sure if I have a favorite statue/sculpture, although the Thinker's right up there, especially as there's a bronze cast of it at the University of Louisville within line of sight of the law school where I went. :)

2. Erm.... let me think...it's been a minute.

3. Possibly?

I've heard of David; I don't think I know the Veiled Virgin. I'll have to look that up. Also if that happened to me I would probably scream and run away; I've seen enough Doctor Who to know that living statues are bad news.

There's a whole genre of marble statues that look texture-realistic. There's one where a greek gods hand is on a womans leg and there's indentations that make it look soft--just mind boggling stuff. The Veiled Virgin looks like you could pull away the veil and see the statue hidden underneath. It's insane!

And I went to our Natural Science museum with our kiddos + my father in law like… two weeks ago? It’s the one I used to work at, with a paleontology hall the size of a football field 😍

I don't particulary have a favorite statue. Although ever since that Dr Who episde Blink and the Weeping Angles, I'll never look at statues the same way again!

I used to work at the Art Institute in Chicago, so it was really nice that I was able to wander about on my breaks, visiting my favorite paintings whenever I wanted.

"David "which I had the pleasure of seeing in Rome left me awestruck.
