One of the cool opportunities in Madison is the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. We’re here during their annual butterfly event and we have our own personal tour guide. Nancy is on the staff and walked us through the conservatory and gardens as well as a behind the scenes tour introducing us to staff, volunteers, and even a fellow dancer along the way. She was able to tell us wonderful stories about the background of the gardens, the butterflies, the Chilhuly inspired glass sculpture, the incredible kaleidoscope, the Thai sala and more. It was a wonderful way to experience one of Madison’s treasures!
Imperial War Museum
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
