New And Improved
It’s my home away from home.
The place I visit more than any other.
To read.
To reflect.
To draw.
That’s Carthaginian Girl.
I’m also working on Dante.
And Diana.
I often give tours.
Or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
It’s the Boston Athenaeum.
And it just re-opened today after a huge renovation.
Athena is very excited!
There is a brand new first-floor extension.
Oh my! What have we here?
With a fab new children’s library.
A great exhibition space.
Plus some wonderful views of the Granary Burying Ground.
There is also a new fourth-floor wing.
And a fresh spot for an old favorite:
Thomas Crawford’s Adam and Eve.
Must try to draw them as well!
You have never seen this fabulous building?
Then please let me show it to you.
And if I have already shown you around.
Then please come back in.
So you can see it all over again.
New and improved.
