Many of the two of us among the pumpkins

The Yayoi Kusama exhibit “Infinity Mirrors” at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden http://hirshhorn.si.edu/kusama/ is the hottest show in Washington this year and is almost impossible to get into. Its six mirrored rooms are fantastical and fascinating, but you have to spend about 30-45 minutes in line waiting to get into each one, after which you are allowed exactly 20 SECONDS to view it along with two other people. The museum staff have stopwatches and throw you out when your time is up. Needless to say, not a good situation for picture taking, but we did what we could under the difficult circumstances.

Back to the pumpkin room, which as I said was my favorite.

I’m behind on comments today as I have to write a report on the Flynn-foreign agent for Turkey scandal, and Tim is still in pain, but I’ll catch up at some point.

I can see why the pumpkins would be a favorite - they're very 'friendly', full and warmly colored! So glad you've shared all this!

Such a cool exhibit. The pumpkins almost seem to move... an optical illusion from those spots, I suppose. V
