An Afternoon at the Shelburne Museum


Today was "soft opening day" at the Shelburne Museum here in Vermont. Geo and I spent the afternoon  checking out new exhibits and walking the grounds, enjoying a delightful day here.

This year the Round Barn has a vintage sleigh and snow mobile exhibit.


 This snow mobile dates back to 1968. I love the colors.

The Ticonderoga is so impressive, a main attraction, along with the lighthouse.



A new exhibit opening in June will be all about robots. Outside of the gallery they're getting the gardens ready with a robotic theme. Here's one of the sculptures.


Another new set of sculptures outside of the circus gallery is of circus elephants made of recycled materials I've seen photos of the elephants, but they are much more impressive seeing them up close in their new setting,


After so much walking, it's so pleasant to take a break to admire the gardens. Here's Geo.


One of my favorite spring plants is the bleeding heart. There's a gorgeous one outside of the Ogden Pleissner  Gallery.


Thank you, Addie, for giving us a membership. We'll be visiting the Shelburne Museum often!
