| Cuernavaca: The Brady Museum | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Robert Brady museum is an art museum in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Robert Brady was an art collector, and the museum was once his home. The strange mash of various arts from various places is all his own, and he arranged it how he pleased. If you've heard about an artist in Spanish class, Robert Brady probably had an orginal. Some of these were works that we have studied! As a note--the background for this page is the tile on the wall in the kitchen of the museum. |

| Me next to a statue of a monk, decked in jewelry. It seems that Brady had nowhere to display his jewelry, because it is often hung on statues. There is a quote that goes with this one though: "DUDE! I *totally* love the bling on this monk!" -- Me |

|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The museum had open windows with no glass that looked out upon his gardens (and a sweet pool) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is actually a bathtub. It has a statue, for some odd reason, and a *sunroof* | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There is a lot of interesting plantlife in the gardens at the Brady Museum, including this tree which is growing on the wall. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A unique representation of the Last Supper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One of the many works of Frida Kahlo that hang on the walls of the Robert Brady Museum. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A collection of frogs in one of the bathrooms. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A disturbing collection of crucifixion-related art decorates much of this room. There is also other religious art. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A nice view of the gardens. The group is gathered at two graves, which we decided were pets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| An awesome (guest) bedroom decked out in pink. Most of the decoration was from Asia. There is a sunroof over the bed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
