Hermes uses 75,000 uniquely ‘Hermes’ custom colors to create their legendary, heirloom quality, silk scarves, one of fashion’s most coveted accessories.
In their demonstrations at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the experts from Lyon, France talked the enthusiastic audience, of men and women alike, through the actual making of a scarf from start to the fine finish. Henri meticulously places and paints with a separate screen for each and every color in every scarf. Each and every shade of every color couldn’t be more perfect and matching the screen to the print exactly… every time ..is a talent. The spectacular colors take your breath away!
Did you know…the Marine Corps Marathon is the 3rd largest race in the US and the 8th largest race in the world? 2013 was its 38th running?

It is called the ‘People’s Marathon’ because anyone over the age of 14 is welcome to run, it is the largest marathon without prize money and it draws 30,000 runners?

My favorite is the Hall of Architecture where Andrew Carnegie’s mission in 1907 was to:
“bring likenesses of European masterworks to the people of Western Pennsylvania. “If they cannot go to the objects, which allure people abroad,” he stated in 1895, ”we shall do our best to bring the rarest of those objects to them at home.” Containing over 150 individual plaster casts of sculptures and monuments from all over the world..”

.. and adding discrete sculptural elements-is a conceptual and witty approach to the history of the storied space
