Noah's Ark

Carolyn took Michael & Jack to the Skirball Museum (across from the Getty) for the Noah's Ark exhibit - fantastic! If you visit us, we will take you there. Similar in scale and quality to the educational space/science center for kids we visited outside Paris, but even better. Interesting, lots of play and touch.

I didn't attend, but the pictures sure look atmospheric.

Flood accounts from all over the world.


It's a great story. I've been generally frustrated, teaching Sunday School for the 5-8 yr olds, as the curriculum centers on the same figures (Noah, Moses, Daniel, etc), whose characters are extrapolated into exhibiting somewhat limited traits; moralistic ciphers without more questioning.

Still, the ark narrative kinda has it all. Our next stop will be the La Brea Tar Pits Museum for some prehistory.
