We finally made it! Today we visited the Raclin Murphy Museum at Notre Dame. It’s the first day of our visit. We can’t believe the size of this place. We think we will need several days to even get a taste of it. But we have already seen some incredible things. So far, the most interesting exhibit is the collection of European and Indigenous art. There are so many interesting paintings, sculptures, and artifacts. Although we haven’t seen everything, we can’t wait to explore the rest of the museum.
