Montclair Art Museum [NJ]

The second part of our Wadsworth Athneum tour was a visit to the Montclair Art Museum in Montclair Center, NJ. The best part of the museum offerings that day was the Andy Warhol exhibit dealing with Cars. The docent was excellent and we learned a lot of new information on Warhol's work for the press. The rest of museum which specializes in Native North American Art was quite well done.

Edison Factory and Estate Tour [NJ]

Visited Thomas A. Edison's factory and Glenmont Estate in West Orange, New Jersey [shown here] today on a Wadsworth Atheneum tour. The house was quite large and Victorian. He lived here in splendor with his second much younger wife, Mina. When entertaining, he would leave the details to Mina while he snuck away to his laboratories. The factory and the laboratories were  down the hill and across the street.
