http://legacy.iranian.com/main/taxonomy/term/2449/0 Museums are our most modern collective houses of worship. I am not sure what is worshiped there; but it may be color, form, humanity or god. Mornings are the best time to visit, as one can have more peace and quiet, with less screaming and running kids. Montreal mornings in winter are doubly nice and bright, when the sky opens after a storm, to offer again its cotton dotted emerald. The Museum of Fine Arts has three separate buildings, but all have underground connections. Visiting is free of charge, but the gorgeous collection and the innocent looking donation boxes, make frugality impossible. I love the exterior of the old church building, the permanent collection of the marble edifice, and the architecture of the modern one. It has some Iranian pieces too, but I didn't go there to fan my Persian ego ... rather to worship the universal sense of beauty and wonder. The photos are taken with a simple phone camera, so excuse the quality and forgive the photoman. en http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172473 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172473#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:38 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172473 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172475 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172475#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:38 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172475 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172474 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172474#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:38 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172474 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172472 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172472#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:37 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172472 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172470 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172470#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:35 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172470 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172469 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172469#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:35 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172469 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172471 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172471#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:35 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172471 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172468 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172468#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:34 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172468 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172467 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172467#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:32 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172467 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172466 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172466#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:30 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172466 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172465 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172465#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:30 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172465 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172464 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172464#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:29 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172464 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172463 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172463#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:28 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172463 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172462 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172462#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:28 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172462 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172461 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172461#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:27 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172461 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172460 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172460#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:44:54 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172460 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172457 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172457#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:44:53 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172457 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172459 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172459#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:44:53 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172459 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172458 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172458#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:44:53 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172458 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172454 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/172454#comments Day at the Museum Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:44:52 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 172454 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main
