I walk by this photo studio dozens of times a day, so it's easy to become jaded, but this celebrity visitor gave me pause.
Check out the warning on the studio door for this occasion:
I often stop in this studio to see what Lee Ewing, who photographs our sculptures so beautifully, is shooting. In this case, however, I didn't want it to be MY breath that made the Little Dancer's tutu explode into dust, so I kept the heck away.

She usually lives up here at the MFA in Boston. I had quite the crush on her in junior high when we met on a field trip.
Dave, that's a cast. This is the original wax from which the bronze casts were made.
Yikes. Do be gentle with her. Where does she usually live?
She usually right out on public display in our sculpture galleries, but in a VERY high=tech, climate-controlled vitrine. We have the majority of Degas's original wax pieces.
Oh, and the air currents thing is all about her tutu, which is the original.
Wow. I'm coming back to visit DC in late April. I will have to look for her. What a great place you work, Wow.
Thanks for the info PSP. You know, I came here years ago for the Condi snark, but I stay for the art lessons.
I think I've seen 2 of the casts. She's ne of my favorite things ever.
