In the Hidden Rooms

Please enjoy some more pictures of my visit to a Home to the Holidays (mostly) Christmas exhibit last week.

The Roberson Museum and Science Center in Binghamton, New York was once a mansion owned by Alonzo Roberson, a lumber magnate, and his wife Margaret.  Some claim the mansion is haunted. It certainly is full of history.

The International Forest I showed you Tuesday is from the main museum.  But now we will go into a different part of the building .

At Christmas time, visitors can enter the mansion portions that are not used for museum exhibits and enjoy some of those decorations.  In fact, we nearly missed this entire part of the exhibit.  It's only by accident (next time, we really should read the brochure you are given when you pay your admission) that we found these hidden rooms.

Shall we enter?

One of the main fireplaces.  And, to the right, a room with white curtains...

Let's leave the red for a moment.

Back to the red.

Finally, a detail of the walls.

More beauty from this exhibit in the following days.
