David, Michelangelo, & Jesus

So I finally got to meet David. He's pretty tall. I don't know what I was expecting but I didn't think it would look like he was an LAPD talking into his walkie on his shoulder naked. Of course, once I did a walk around I realized it was a sling and that David was supposed to be THAT David. You know, David & Goliath David. Michaelangelo sure had a sense of humor. 'Cause giving David a sling without any clothes probably wasn't the most practical thing.

And then things got busty.  Or shall we say, things busted out into statue land.

Delving into the tree of life was a nice break after all the body-less people.  The gold makes it really shiny but it does look like a Christmas Tree ... only with a dead/crucified Jesus on the trunk instead of lights.

The musical instruments section didn't actually play any music -- but they showed all the different instruments and they were quite pretty too.  Cupids and angels ornately set into the wood.  

The museo had a second floor most people missed because it was after the gift shop -- and most people are trained to go -- "gift shop = end."  It's years of training by Disneyland rides and tours where the gift shop is at the end.  Well, don't tell this Italian museum that.  It'd be a lot of work to move the gift shop now that everything is set up the way it is.  Besides the second floor only had some really beautiful trifold wood panels & information on how instruments are made. That's all.
