Oregon Historical Society

Joe and I took our daily walk and decided to try a different route, to go up toward the South Park Blocks. We had to go that way anyway, to buy a new wire brush for our new BBQ grill. On the way back, we stopped at the Oregon Historical Society museum. They were having a special exhibit on Puppets: An Out of Body Experience, featuring the work of Michael Curry whose puppets have appeared in Broadway’s The Lion King. Absolutely fascinating. Joe’s favorite was the giant crocodile; I was trying to figure how to work the controls of the Pegasus; it looked heavy. The permanent exhibit on Oregon is neat too and highly recommended for anyone who is preparing for Oregon’s 150^th anniversary of statehood next year (February 14, 2009).
