Friday 12th Sept - The Museums

After a leisurely breakfast Christine and I headed downtown for our day at the museums. Christine was dropped off at the Atlanta History Center where she had worked as a docent when we lived out here and I carried on down to the Atlanta High Museum of Art where there was an exhibition named 'Dream Cars' was being held. This was absolutely fantastic, covering a display of mainly concept cars designed in the 1940s and 50s and featuring cars as disparate as L'Oeuf Electrique to the General Motors Firebird XP-21, a gas turbine powered single seater looking more like a jet aircraft than a car! Christine was a little disappointed with the AHC as they had done away with the docents in the Tully Smith house where she had worked and there were a lot of alterations going on in the main building which limited some of the exhibits. We had a meal and quiet evening in with Susan and Jim.
