Thanks! Wish I'd had this last week. I was in the Uffizi museum in Florence. To escape the crowds, I stepped into an empty side room - miniatures hung on the walls, in cabinets, everywhere. I found them eerie and fascinating but there wasn't interpretation - I needed this!
Love bringing this into our personal lives with the high school photos. I still have a little folder where I kept all my friends yearbook photos, prom pics, and school ID cards. For some reason we got extras and could swap them too.
Fabulous, Tania, as always well written and interesting on a subject that I didn't think would be so. Nice job in tying miniatures to our school postage stamp sized headshots! Coincidentally, my husband found his collection from over his school years and it has been fascinating to see that his expressions of mischief remained consistent throughout even as his face matured.
Great review! We have been talking about going to Charleston for the International African American Museum so we could add this one too. I love the old school pictures - you look exactly the same in some ways! And those 80's prom dresses - whoa. ;-)
Thank you. Yes, definitely add it to your list. It's worth a visit. I haven't made it to the IAAM yet. Please let me know what you think. Remind me to tell you about my prom dress story!

Well, now you have a good excuse to go back!

Thank you. Interesting about the IDs.

Thank you. Yes, we change and we stay the same.

A beautiful rundown on the miniatures in Charleston's art scene.
Thank you Janisse!
