A Night at the Museum

 On Thursday evening, February 5, we had a night out on the town.  Before we went to dinner at a Longhorn restaurant (Christmas gift) we visited the Gelman Stained Glass Museum in San Juan, and are very glad that we did.

The huge building was constructed by a Jewish man named Gelman who had it built to look like a cathedral from the outside.  

But inside it is a huge gallery of stained glass artwork and statues.

Many of the art pieces were collected from cathedrals and churches that were being torn down from around the world.

And some of the items were carved from marble and granite.

All the art pieces made from stained glass were specially illuminated from behind to bring out the true colors.  Most were from stories in the Bible like the Nativity you see above.

More to come tomorrow.....
