Visiting places: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Harvard University
I got up at 5:30. I could use wireless internet at the bed room on the 3rd floor. When I went downstairs at 7:30, Mr. Nagano already left for school.
Pat-san and I ate breakfast together. We left home at 8:30. Pat-san took me to Brookline Avenue by car. Then I walked to the museum.
First, I walked along the river. It was a part of public park. There were many birds, such as ducks and geese. The houses along the pedestrian streets put feeders for birds. Many small birds and large birds seemed to enjoy having food at such gardens with feeders.

Pat-san gave me a google-map, but it was not very clear. I walked along the big park opposite side of the museum. After seeing a museum-like building, I walked across the park. I arrived at the park at 9:50, just 10 minutes before it opened.

There were two big sculptures of baby heads in front of the building. I do not appreciate the taste of arts for these carvings. Anyway, I paid 25 dollars for the admission plus 6 dollars for the earphones to listen to the explanarions in Japanese.

There was a special seminar on Korean drawings and ceramic arts from 10:30 to 12:00. The seminar was held in the lecture hall. The lecturer started his presentation by the history of Korea.

I started my private tour of the museum after the lecture. So, it was about one hour tour by my own interests.
The museum is famous for its collections of impressionist arts. I saw Cezanne’s “The Large Bathers” and Gauguin’s “Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?”

Besides those impressionist arts, I found an art of glasses which seemed endless continuation, and the one which reminded me fo Katsushika Hokusai’s “Big Wave and Mt. Fuji” were interesting.

Anyhow, I never got tired of seeing the exhibitions at this great museum.

I left the museum at 1:30 pm, but I had a bit trouble of finding their house in Brookline. If I knew the way, it would be less than 30 minutes on foot, but it took me one hour to go back to their house on Bowker Street.

When I returned the house, Pat-san was already at home. She fed me for late lunch, then she took me to the tour of Harvard University.
Pat-san graduated from Harvard University for BA and Columbia University for MA in cultural anthropology, if my memories were correct.

First, she took me to the cemetery park where her parents have been buried. We just drove through the cemetery, then we went to the university.

She was born this Boston-Cambridge area and went to schools here.
At Harvard University, she took me to The Memorial Church of Harvard University, first.
[The Memorial Church of Harvard University, ハーバード大学メモリアル・チャーチ、하버드 대학 메모리얼 교회]
[Below is quoted from wikipeida]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Church_of_Harvard_University
The current Memorial Church was built in 1932 in honor of the men and women of Harvard University who died in World War I. The names of 373 alumni were engraved within alongside a sculpture named The Sacrifice by Malvina Hoffman. It was dedicated on Armistice Day on November 11, 1932.
[The Memorial Church of Harvard University, ハーバード大学メモリアル・チャーチ、하버드 대학 메모리얼 교회]
Since then, other memorials have been established within the building commemorating those Harvardians who later died in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. For seventy-five years, it has stood in Harvard Yard opposite Widener Library as a physical reminder of Harvard's spiritual heritage. Since its inception, the Harvard Memorial Church has had weekly choral music provided at its Sunday services by the Harvard University Choir, which is composed of both graduate and undergraduate students in the university.

Pat-san said while she was undergraduate, she was on Harvard University Choir. She said she was paid for the service. How nice!
After seeing the memorial churches and other facilities on the campus, we came across the skate like for any visitors. That was a nice thing that the university could offer.

Then we came to the another church near the school. To my surprise, it was the headwaters of Universal Universalist Church which I attended with Alan for the potluck party in Oak Ridge, Tennessee!
I got curious and we went to the inside of the church. The inside of the hall was similar to the memorial churches. But they were serving foods for homeless people.

After visiting the churches, Pat-san took me a nice block of town where good old American streets still remain.

We went home at around 5 pm. Mr. Nagano cooked dinner again. This time, he cooked pork-cutlets and potato salad and cooked “primitive” cabbage. He is a super cook!
Pat-san and I enjoyed the food with wine. After dinner she began watching a TV drama and went to my bed room ont the 3rd floor. It was about 10 am. I walked 18,000 steps this day, maybe the most walked day during this US trip.

分類：米国旅行第`7日目ボストン美術館(旅行月日：2013年2月12日(月)曇り時々晴れ
訪問地：ボストン美術館及びハーバード大学
同行者：パットさん(ハーバード大学)
5時半起床。長野家も無線ランが利用できる。7時半に食堂に降りた時は長野さんはすでに出勤した後だった。
8時半にパットさんが出かけるときに車に同乗し、道を案内してもらったうえで、ブルックライン・アベニューへ戻って私は下車した。
川沿いのリバーサイドを歩きランドマーク・ビルディングで方向を変え、美術館へ向かった。
[At the park on the way to the museum, 美術館へ行く途中の公園にて、미술관가는 길의 공원에서]

パットさんにグーグルマップを打ち出してもらったが、わかりにくい。結局、美術館前の大きな公園の反対側を歩いたようで、美術館らしい建物に気が付き、雪に覆われた公園を横切って美術館らしい建物に近づいた。
こちらは美術館の裏口だったようだ。立派な建物にセザンヌの絵の描かれた大きなバーナーが吊るしてあり、建物の前には大きな赤ん坊の頭が２つ、雪のうえにあった。前衛過ぎて意味が良くわからなかった。[標識には美術館(museum)という言葉はなく、単にHuntington Entranceとだけあった。]
[A sculpture in front of the museum, 美術館の前の彫像、미술관 앞에 있는 동상]
また、美術館とはどこにも表記されてなく、入り口は閉まっていて、数人の市民が開館するのを待っていた。そのうちの一人に確かめるとたしかにMFAだと言われ安心した。
この時点で会館2分前で非常に良いタイミングだった。入館料は25ドルで、説明用イヤホンは6ドル。クロークにカバンや上着を預けて、見学を開始した。
この日は10:30～12:00まで韓国の絵画とセラミックの歴史についてプレゼンがあり、それを最初から最後まで聴いた。
[The explanation about Korean Peninsula historically and geographically, 朝鮮半島に関する歴史的地理的説明、한반도에 관한 역사적 지리적 설명]
このため、実際の見学時間は1時間ほどであり、まずセザンヌやゴーギャンやモネなと、フランス印象派の絵画を見て、次に中世の宗教画、そしてオリエンタルの彫刻などを急いでみた。
セザンヌの「大水浴図」は他の美術館から貸与されて展示されているもので、ゴーギャンの「われわれはどこから来たのか われわれは何者か われわれはどこへ行くのか」はボストン美術館の所蔵品である。

このほか、無限に続くように見えるガラスの彫像作品や葛飾北斎の富嶽三十六景の１つ「神奈川沖浪裏」をモチーフにした作品も印象ぶかかった。

慌ただしく見学を終え、ギフトショップで絵葉書10枚買ってから美術館を出たのは1時半ごろだった。

道がわかっていれば30分ほどの所を、1時間かけて家を探した。ブルックライン・アベニューからケント・ストリートまでは比較的容易に捜せたが、ボーカー・ストリートがやや難しかった。30番地の家を見つけた時はほっとした。
すでに2時半でパットさんは家に戻っていた。昼食を食べる時間がなかったため腹がすき、台所のオレンジを無断で食べている所にパットさんが降りて来て、前夜の残りのスープやライスをもらい、しっかりと食べた。
食事中に長野さんが学校から戻った。食事を終えるとパットさんが車で彼女の母親の埋葬されているセメタリー公園、彼女の生まれ育った家、そしてハーバード大学内を案内してくれた。

ハーバード大学の敷地内には多くの教会があったが、なかでも第2次大戦や南北戦争の戦没者を記念したメモリアルチャーチの2つは中に入ってみた。

また、オークリッジでアランがポットラックパーティに連れて行ってくれた比較的新しい新興宗教「ユニテリアン・ユニヴァーサリズム」の教会にも入った。

この3つ目の教会の内部を見せてもらった。礼拝堂の内部はメモリアル教会と大差はないが、この教会では教会のボランティアらしい人々がホームレスのためのすてきな食事を提供していた。

このあと、パットさんは学生たちで賑わう昔ながらのダウンタウンの一角へ案内してくれた。彼女が在学していたころにはなかったであろうスターバックスの店などをみて、彼女の車を停めてある場所へ戻った。このころちょうど日没で、きれいな日没を見ながらツアーを終えた。

この日は1万8000歩ほどあるいた。訪米中もっとも歩いた日となった。
夕食はまたしても長野さんの手料理で、メインはトンカツで、ポテトサラダと、原始的なキャベツをサラダオイルでいためたものをごちそうになった。
また、ワインをごちそうになった。食後、パットさんはお気に入りのテレビドラマを鑑賞した。
19世紀末から20世紀初頭にかけてのイギリス貴族のドラマのようで、ホモの男が登場する。
10分ほどで私は退出し、早めに寝たが、たぶん10時ごろだったようだ。
ゴーギャンの「われわれはどこから来たのか われわれは何者か われわれはどこへ行くのか」はいつまでも有効な永遠の問いかけである。聖書がその回答であるというのはキリスト者の信仰である。
