Dear Readers,
Hello! Ten years ago today I launched Museum Bites, a weekly travel blog featuring brief bits of history about famous and not-so-famous art, artifacts, people, places, and events. Together, we swam through prehistoric seaways with Xiphactinus, climbed the Great Wall of China, braved the treacherous journey through the ancient Egyptian afterlife, crisscrossed Renaissance Europe with Leonardo da Vinci, and chased pop flies with Babe Ruth.
In January 2022, after 6 years, I waved good-bye and embarked on a new adventure, going back to school and pursuing a degree in Art History…
…and I’m thrilled to say, I did it!!

I’ve also been traveling near and far, visiting museums and historical sites, and I’m looking forward to sharing more quirky bits of history and arty facts. I hope you’ll join me as we explore new places, revisit some old ones, and discover more fascinating tidbits from the past. I welcome your feedback and hope you enjoy the journey.

Tune in next Thursday for a starlit stroll through Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous painting, The Starry Night. Until then, have a fantastic week and be safe, be kind, and take care 🙂
