The backhanded benefit to the roof crowd, though, was how empty the museum was inside. Cool, quiet, cavernous rooms all to yourself- the ideal way to absorb some artistic inspiration.
This little friend was in the Oceanic-Meso America wing. Being a terrible art history student, I have no idea as to his origins, but I want to say Incan or Aztec. But maybe that's just the frozen Mexican hot chocolate I was too hot to make all weekend talking.

that guy might even predate the inca civilization, or perhaps be a part of the mochica, nazca or some other andean culture. hmmmmm...
speaking of mochica, they were known for their erotic pottery. it's rather, um, stimulating. http://www.museolarco.org/igal_er.shtml
the rooftop shots are awesome, and i sure hope it was a teeny bit cooler up there.
it wasn't cooler, actually, even armed with prosecco.
now i need go get educated about mochachinos. this should be good...
