As a family, we've grown fond of the Hirshhorn, The Smithsonian's modern art museum. Modern art has always been an easy sell with our child, especially when they were little.

| Head by Nicolas Party |

| The Cyclist (Le cycliste) by Auguste Herbin |

| Woman in a Hat (Marie-Thérèse Walter) by Pablo Picasso |

Wow, what a great looking desert. I agree, we need to support librarians and fight against the system.
