On
May 4, 2003,
sponsored by Professors Susan Petit and Marilyn Carter,
the French Club
and members of CSM's French classes
visited the Cantor Center for Visual Arts
on the Stanford University campus.
We
had docent tours of the Rodin sculptures, which form
the second-largest collection
in the world
(after the collection in the Musée Rodin in Paris).
|
We
met in the sculpture garden at the side of the museum.
|
|
|
|
In
the lobby we divided into groups,
each led by a docent.
|
 |
Before
and after the tour,
we studied the sculptures
in the garden.
|
|
|
The
docents explained the monumental Gates of Hell, which
Rodin worked on for many years.

Kiss

Fowler, one of our photographers, is in the first row on the

(our other photographer and the French Club president) is
fourth from the left, with her daughter Aliya on her left.

After
our tour, some of us went to Mulligan's Pub and Grill in Redwood City.
