I drove out to the Vanderbilt Museum this morning for a meeting. It was strange for me to be there in daylight - usually it is dark out. So I spent some time looking around after the meeting was over. The Vanderbilt Museum was the summer home of William K. Vanderbilt, II, He was born into wealth, and loved the oceans and the natural world. In his sea-going global travels, he collected fish and other marine life, birds, invertebrates and cultural artifacts for the personal museum he built on this estate. I was unable to find out where these six columns came from but they are the first thing you see after driving through the front gate. I love how weathered they are in appearance.
