Speaking of museums, when we were in Venice, a guy kept gesturing for us to follow him. He looked harmless, we were curious, and so we did.
He opened this unassuming door, and we ended up in some artist's private showroom...sss -- room after room after room full of giant gorgeous exquisite marble and glass statues and creations! It was better than many of the museums we visited thorughout Europe, since it was packed so full, and you can actually touch it!!!
To be polite, from time to time, we lifted the price tags, mumbled, and nodded to ourselves...
