Saturday was a long day. I did a lot, but it really was relaxed and unhurried.

I was at the Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan when it opened at 10AM. It is smaller than I expected, but still nice. The Kohler Foundation supports the preservation of grassroots art around the country, and I thought there would be more grassroots art at the museum. In addition to a few small galleries of other art, there were only two exhibits of work by grass roots artists, and a few interesting sculptures in small gardens around the building.

The more interesting exhibit was a rhinestone house and clothing made by Loy Bowlin, the rhinestone cowboy.

No photos are permitted in the museum, except in the restrooms. One of the guards took me on a tour of the women's rooms. The restrooms were each designed by a different artist. The museum carefully calls them "washrooms."
