Description of Pictures: It had been years since I had been to this gallery but the Ratner piece at the Supreme Court reminded me it was time to come back. Unfortunately, I didn't read the schedule very closely and they weren't open the day I went. Some days I'm not too bright.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific people (or other things) in the pictures which I haven't labeled, please identify them for us. Or fill in any other descriptions you can. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture).

Description of Subject Matter: Located in Bethesda, Maryland, the Dennis and Phillip Ratner Museum has been established with one purpose in mind: to foster love of the Bible through the graphic arts. The Museum is a walk through the Hebrew Bible via visual arts. It's an interesting place with beautiful works of art that are part of most of our religious background -- Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, the Ten Commandments. Although I'm not at all religious, I enjoyed seeing the religious works as well as the Ellis Island pieces.
As their web page at http://www.ratnermuseum.com tells you, the Museum has been the dream of the two cousins, whose roots in the Washington area go back three generations. Both Dennis and Phillip feel a great sense of belonging and it is their desire to make a gift to the community that they have prospered in. They see the Museum as their legacy. Construction and endowment of the Museum are being funded by Dennis and Phillip Ratner and a group of family and friends who chose to join this under-taking at the inception. Admission to the museum is free.
Phillip, by the way, is the artist. Dennis is chairman and CEO of Ratner Companies, which owns Hair Cuttery.
