Locked in the Museum of Medieval Pictures

Miss Kinney, Helen and I started out to go to the Museum of Medieval Pictures. We went way past the place and had to be directed back to it, as it was distinguished from other door [ways] by just the band Galleria over the door. It was a most interesting collection for any one who likes that kind of a thing from the paintings of the early centuries to those of the XVth – XVI cen. We were pleased to notice that the infant Jesus in one picture was playing with a rosary – while the Virgin at her [breast} wore a necklace with a coral chain against the evil eye hanging from it. Miss Kinney said she also saw a bracelet on the baby’s arm. I did not stay as long as I would have liked, but I was getting tired and left. We found ourselves locked in when we came to leave as the custodian must have been at lunch, but we rang a bell and he came and released us.



Lay down after lunch. Sewed a good while afterwards. We started out to find an exhibition of cross stitch work, but we couldn’t find it so we went and took our seats and watched the race. There was no flag throwing nor procession. Walked in the Park in the evening. It is beautiful over in the park and there are crowds of people.
