There were other displays of "art" and I have to tell you some of it was crap. I can't believe what people pass off as art.
Anyway here are some pictures of the stuff that we were interested in.

Museum day
"A" received some free passes to the Mingei Museum at Balboa Park. I'm not much into museums, usually after 10 minutes I'm ready to stab myself in the eye with a spoon, but one of the displays consisted of furniture. I know what you are thinking, booorrrringggg, but a lot of this was mid-century and that just happens to be what we are looking for.

Sometimes there is an interesting exhibition at the museum here, and I think I like to visit but it is not realized ever,as I come to know there must be a long line of visitors to get in.
Budweiser can chair, antique art. You prefer Miller can chair.
Chairs. Totally man.
I've seen that chair w/ ottoman before.. I think it's a Swedish creation. I hear they are very comfortable but very expensive as well. Ottoman... where does that name come from? Odd name for a piece of furniture.
K- Actually I don't care for Budweiser or Miller. Maybe a Corona or Asahi?
Shell- Yes they are.
Tank- Actually Charles Ormond Eames was an American designer and an "original" Eames chair will set you back close to $5k. But you can get replicas for less than $1k.
But there are a lot of Scandinavian furniture that is very similar.
Good Grief. 1K for a fake? I didn't spend that much on the most comfortable chair in my house!
Yeah, they don't give them away. But you can get used ones for about 2/3 of that. I am working on getting one but it's not easy.
Are they at least comfortable to sit in, because it doesn't look as if it would be.
They are not too bad.
