One of the fabulous benefits of the science museum classes with our homeschool group is getting the school group pricing for the special exhibits. Exhibits that normally cost $20-$30 dollars, we get to see for $5-$6.
This month we got to see the Faberge exhibit.
My favorite item was the last one in the exhibit: the Josephine Tiara. This tiara is dazzling. None of the pictures do it justice. A picture, or even a video, cannot capture the beauty of this piece of art. Although the tiara itself is almost all clear diamonds, it is alive with color. It throws of sparkles of blue, green, orange, red, yellow. It casts rainbows on on my daughter's face. The large stones are cut slightly differently, yet all fit together in an elegant, balanced whole. When Sparkle stood in just the right place, the reflection of the tiara in the glass of the case made it look like she was wearing the tiara.
I also liked the lilies-of-the-valley in a cut crystal vase. The vase really looked like it was filled with water, and the arrangement was incredibly life-like.
Sparkle loved the little egg tree. Glitter thought that the room looked like a palace and she wanted me to buy the painted silk fan for her.
