Houston Fire Museum

I really enjoyed the historical displays, imagining all wood homes and farmhouses surrounding rural Houston, even as recently as 40-50 years ago (yesterday for the european standars ). Very well preserved fire equipment.The upstairs firefighters' living quarters was interesting but the exhibits were largely blocked by shipping boxes, a play area por children and a smal gift shop with proceeds going to help support the volunter division.

Museum Day. Museo Sorolla-Madrid-Spain

On the ocasion of the celebration of the Museum Day , a group of Urban Sketchers were invited to visit the Museo Sorolla, and drawing the inside and outside.
Surrounded by a secluded garden, like an oasis in the centre of Madrid, the Museum holds the greatest collection of works by the Valencian painter Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923)
Sorolla is often called the "Master of Light" but as attractive as his pictures, his studio and house are more or less as he left them when he died en the 1920s.
