It is pocket change and dead presidents. It is the key to happiness and the root of all evil. It has no intrinsic value apart from what we’ve given it.

  4. I did. Enjoyed it a lot. Great that they let you take pictures of the pictures. Really felt like I'd been there -- love the Americana paintings. Nice combination of Art and History and a beautiful painless way to learn.
