around centre-ville

today i went to the musee des beaux-arts to check out two exhibtions - one on the work of emily carr and another entitled american streamlined design, which featured modern design in the american home (everything being streamline). items included radios, kitchen items, tools, and furniture. it was interesting to see the progression of design through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

on the way to the museum, i noticed another exhibition on university street. all down the sidewalk, there was a series of themed photographs mounted. for each theme, there was a photograph taken during the first half of the 20th century and a complementary photograph from the second half of the 20th century. below is my favourite, from the 'at home' theme.



also, i came across some a billboard and sculpture that i liked.
