Museu Nacional do Azulejo

I've already spent more time blogging today than I actually have to spare, but I did get all of my grading down yesterday so I guess I've earned a little reprieve. Still, this is just an introduction to a later richer post on a visit from my summer trip to Portugal. While there I finally made my way to the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, the tile museum, in the outskirts of Lisbon. I was hoping to bring my students there on a proposed March trip, but my undependable health led, sadly, to the cancelling of that course. It is a lovely museum, and I'll share some more pictures on a later date.


Honestly, I think I chose this one because of the utterly dopey and generally happy expression on the bull's face, unless I'm misreading the actions of the dog on the right.
