This is a view of the entrance to Greensboro's Historical Museum, quite a feast of color and geometry. The banners that fade from red to yellow all have a different important date in Greensboro's history. The museum presents history in such a visually appealing way. We know we've featured it several times before, but not this exact view. We never tire of sharing community resources that are educational and FREE. If you haven't gone since the renovation, hop in the car and see for yourself how wonderful it is. See how quickly you can find this exact view (and this view; and this view; and this view; and this view!)
This is our contribution to ABC Wednesday "E" is for "entrance/exit" Read here to see more E's from around the world!!
A beautiful entrance with graceful stairs.

What a clever idea for E day. Entrance/Exit. It is a beautiful museum to be sure.

Grreensboro's four Delta Kappa Gamma Societies will hold their first joint meeting here in October. Many teacher/members will see this as a prelude to future school visits, I'm sure. The new exhibit, "Voices of a City," will bring many new visitors to the renovated museum.

Sometimes I wonder what the architect drink or smoke before getting the inspiration.. Other times I want to learn the name of the architect and follow his creativity. This is the second occasion. Love the colors and shapes.
(Thank you for following my painting blog, I am so pleased!)
