    Museum Musings: Finding Frida at Telfair

    Telfair Museums – Jepson Museum Exhibit

    I love being a member of the Telfair Museums. This past June Neal and I attended a Director’s Circle Art Spotlight Lecture on Fashioning Frida by New York City Based Fashion Historian Raissa Bretana.

    The next day after the lecture, we returned to see the famed portraits of Frida on display for ourselves. Funny, we were told they were somewhere in the building. Searching in every exhibit room, we found no Frida. I finally walked down to the admissions desk to inquire of the whereabouts of this famous icon.

    Well to my surprise the portraits were in an unlit, not advertised hallway leading to the conference room.

    Ah, there she was! Waiting, frozen in time… Frida.

    These beautifully crafted stained glass windows depict the faith that belonged to the airmen and women who sacrificed all for the humanity’s sake. Faith and sacrifice seem to go hand in hand.

    Chapel of the Fallen Eagles

    Tuesday we visited an amazing military museum right here in Savannah, Georgia. Truly I had no idea that it was a Nation Museum for a famous division of the Air Force vital to combat operations during WWII.

    The exhibits were full of historical accounts captured like in a time capsule. Film, radio broadcasts, newspapers, uniforms, vehicles and much more.

    This series will be on the Chapel that sits on the grounds of the museum.

    . .

    Believe it or not this is an actual operational chapel. Not a relic, it was built to resemble an English chapel.

    The Chapel is available for weddings, memorial services and church services by special request.

    The next blog post will focus on the stained glass windows depicting lives given in service as members of the Mighty 8th.

  • Museum Musings: Dragonfly at Mighty 8th Air Force Museum Memorial Garden

    Museum Musings: Dragonfly at Mighty 8th Air Force Museum Memorial Garden

    Nation Museum of the Mighty 8th Air Force Memorial Garden

    A place steeped in history. A garden full of dedication to fallen airmen and women who gave their lives plus all those supporting the their efforts from the workers who built countless numbers of aircraft and children donating pots and pans for the defense of humanity’s freedom.

    . .

    Honor! Sacrifice! Dedication! Emotion can easily overwhelm you here, in this garden.

    • . .
    • . .

    Then a tiny dragonfly lands on the memorial bench in front of you! He tilts his head wondering his place in all this… garden laid before him. He is so small and you finally understand… the cost… their price for your freedom.

    . .
    . .
    . .

    The dragonfly buzzes off. His work is done… today!
