Marquette Campus

So last week we went and did some sightseeing around Marquette campus. Thanks to Meghan’s post about free museum day on Saturday we decided to hit up the art museum on Marquette campus and then explore from there. We learned two things about the art museum there; first it is always free so you can go anytime you want and second, the current exhibition is called Jump Cut Art featuring social/political/historical issues inspired by the Pop Art movement (let’s just say we weren’t in there for very long). There was another attraction found on campus though, the Saint Joan of Arc Chapel. The chapel was built in the 15th century in France, rebuilt several times and shipped to the United States and eventually ended up at Marquette. The legends say that Joan of Arc prayed at this chapel. It was actually a pretty spiritual experience to be inside the chapel so rich in history.

Here is an example of the art found at the art museum...

Here is the inside of the chapel


Brad is standing at the entrance looking knightly

Here is "Mr. Marquette" in front of the chapel

And this is just one of the buildings that I thought looked cool.
