The last post I have about museums I've been to is the Cantor Art Museum on Stanford Campus. It didn't have anything famous (minus the MASSIVE Rodin collection, of course), but it was a lovely little museum. My favorite part is that it had a tiny bit from every culture, so I got to see a lot of Native American, African and Oceanic art that I had never been exposed to before, so that was really cool. I also really liked the section dedicated to the Stanford family. I hadn't heard before the story of the family and how the school was founded, and I thought that section of the museum was really cool. The only painting I remember really loving was a Napoleon painting, but I don't remember what it was called, and as I looked through the online collections I couldn't find it. But here are some other cool things from the museum:
Rodin--Gates of Hell
Gericault--Passage du Saint Bernard
House post from Native Americans in Canada
Rodin--Bust of Victor Hugo
Rodin--Iris Awakening a Nymph
Rodin--The Kiss
Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran--Leland Stanford, Jr.
Medallion of General Bonapart
Rodin--Three Shades
China tea pot
