Currier Museum of Art

We went to the Escher exhibit, which was a lot of fun.  They had magnifying glasses in many of the rooms, and it was transformative; a shape that seemed familiar (and thus unexciting) might reveal hidden nuances that way.  

For example, on close examination, the Double Planetoid on display featured a man-made world (architecture) with human figures intersecting with a natural world populated with plants and dinosaur type creatures; there are no overlaps.  

They didn't encourage photography in the exhibition rooms, so I contented myself with a picture of their life-size reproduction of one of the more famous works:

 



She's garbed in lion skin!
