Olmec and Maya Exhibition in Tokyo

There's an exhibition of Olmec and Mayan artifacts in Sunshine City, Ikebukuro running just until this Sunday. It's not my typical thing, but we just studied about those civilizations a couple weeks ago in homeschool. If we're done with church early enough, we may go, if only to see the giant Olmec head, which is not to be confused with the Easter Island head from  Night at the Museum. (Hey Dum Dum! You give me gum gum!)

Giant Whale Photo Exhibition in Tokyo

This exhibition of life-size whale photos looks amazing. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll make it by the time it ends on December 18, but if anyone goes, please let me know what you think.

'Eye to Eye With The Whale: New Tales About Whales' is an exhibition featuring life-size photographs of whales taken by California photographer Bryant Austin. Austin’s photographs will be accompanied by an audio element – the songs of whales. The exhibition will also feature the stunning animations of Kawai Haruyoshi, the foremost Japanese illustrator of marine mammals. There will be exciting video footage of whales from whale watching communities around Japan.
