Today, we drove to Santa Barbara, an hour's drive from our campsite. http://www.santabarbara.com/community/local_history/
Sullivan Goss Gallery is en route from the parking garage to the art museum. We were drawn in...

At the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, we viewed an exhibit of impressionist paintings, animals in photos, and a contemporary abstract exhibit. The central foyer is graced with sculptures from Ancient Greece. The second floor has an extensive collection of objects from China, Japan, India, Tibet and Southeast Asia.

Gifts of paintings, sculpture and ritual objects from F. Bailey Vanderhoef and Wilbur L. Cumming are in the Tibet collection. In the spring of 1938, Cummings and Vanderhoef traveled to Tibet to document the religious art and the famous "lama dances" at the monastery of Palkhor Chöde, located in the city of Gyangtse, in western Tibet. Their photos of the yearly festival of the unveiling of the monastery's famous massive silk thangka appeared in the June 12, 1939 edition of Life magazine, some of the first color images of Tibet to appear in the American popular press.

We have encountered many thrift and antique stores in Ventura County.
