Julian de Cordova, a Boston businessman, had a personal collection of visual arts which he often opened to the public. He donated his property to the town of Lincoln in 1930 with the condition that it become a public museum of art after his death. De Cordova died in 1945, and the trustees he appointed determined that it should focus on living regional artists and art education,[2] and established the DeCordova and Dana Museum and Park in 1948. It opened to the public in 1950. The founding director of the museum was Frederick P. Walkey, whose innovative concepts for a regional museum of living art combined with art festivals, camps, and classes, helped establish a new model for small regional museums in the United States.[3] It was popularly known as the DeCordova Museum, and officially changed its name to the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in 2009.
Its highlight is a 35-acre (140,000 m2) park overlooking Flint's Pond (also known as Sandy Pond) with approximately 60 outdoor sculptures and installations; it also has several indoor galleries with a rotating series of special exhibitions, gift shop, cafe, and function spaces. The park's permanent collection is small but important, including works by Antony Gormley, George Rickey, Alexander Liberman, Nam June Paik, Dan Graham and others. Additionally, prominent works by Ursula von Rydingsvard, Sol LeWitt, Gary Webb, Jaume Plensa, Jim Dine and other artists are displayed on rotating loan, and the park features rotating installations of new and site-specific contemporary work.
Walter Gropius, founder of the German design school known as the Bauhaus, was one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. He designed Gropius House built in 1938 as his family home when he came to Massachusetts to teach architecture at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.
Modest in scale, the house was revolutionary in impact. It combined the traditional elements of New England architecture—wood, brick, and fieldstone—with innovative materials rarely used in domestic settings at that time, including glass block, acoustical plaster, chrome banisters, and the latest technology in fixtures.
In keeping with Bauhaus philosophy, every aspect of the house and its surrounding landscape was planned for maximum efficiency and simplicity of design. The house contains a significant collection of furniture designed by Marcel Breuer and fabricated in the Bauhaus workshops. With the family's possessions still in place, Gropius House has a sense of immediacy and intimacy.
A Foot Note: And we as the Visitors enjoyed every moment. Silly as we may have been we were admirers of the arts & exhibits present. We enjoyed our day roaming the grounds freely & expressing our opinions some silly some serious. But it all came down to we appreciated the time we were able to view others works and later come upon another gem of the town the Gropius House. I love architecture & It was a wonderful day for the family.
Another foot note: It was a busy day for chemtrails that day and all month. I have footage of the sky almost everyday leading up to today. We had signature clouds of haarp activity so how hard is it for people to just get it that things r not always brought on by mother nature and that there could possibly be others at play here. Look at what the artist create on small & large scales. What do you think scientist or leaders do for entertainment. And not to leave out it was the eve of another Presidential debate? Are they that stupid to think oh yes that will throw us off?
Just saying and as I posted this film tonight. We experienced an Earthquake 0f a 4.6 Mag.

Domestic Integrities part A03: Los Angeles
03/21/3013~03/24/2013---Over the course of four marathon days, the Los Angeles--based artist Fritz Haeg worked in the Hammer Museum with volunteers and visitors to crochet discarded textiles into the traveling Domestic Integrities rug. A display of edibles, medicinals, and herbals fresh from Haeg's Los Angeles garden, including offerings of produce and herbal tea infusions, were presented on the rug.
The rug of local textiles is a charged site for testing, performing, and presenting how we want to live. These spiral-stitched circular rugs gradually expand as they travel from city to city. The European edition traveled to Budapest, London, and Vienna before arriving at a yearlong installation at Pollinaria in Abruzzo, Italy. American editions started at Mildred's Lane in Pennsylvania and the Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, coming to the Hammer from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, before continuing to the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Massachusetts ( (listen), ), officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south, New Hampshire and Vermont to the north, and New York to the west. The state is named after the Massachusett tribe, which once inhabited the east side of the area, and is one of the original thirteen states. The capital of Massachusetts is Boston, which is also the most populous city in New England. Over 80% of Massachusetts's population lives in the Greater Boston metropolitan area, a region influential upon American history, academia, and industry. Originally dependent on agriculture, fishing and trade, Massachusetts was transformed into a manufacturing center during the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, Massachusetts's economy shifted from manufacturing to services. Modern Massachusetts is a global leader in biotechnology, engineering, higher education, finance, and maritime trade.Plymouth was the site of the first colony in New England, founded in 1620 by the Pilgrims, passengers of the Mayflower. In 1692, the town of Salem and surrounding areas experienced one of America's most infamous cases of mass hysteria, the Salem witch trials. In 1777, General Henry Knox founded the Springfield Armory, which during the Industrial Revolution catalyzed numerous important technological advances, including interchangeable parts. In 1786, Shays' Rebellion, a populist revolt led by disaffected American Revolutionary War veterans, influenced the United States Constitutional Convention. In the 18th century, the Protestant First Great Awakening, which swept the Atlantic World, originated from the pulpit of Northampton preacher Jonathan Edwards. In the late 18th century, Boston became known as the Cradle of Liberty for the agitation there that led to the American Revolution.
The entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts has played a powerful commercial and cultural role in the history of the United States. Before the American Civil War, Massachusetts was a center for the abolitionist, temperance, and transcendentalist movements. In the late 19th century, the sports of basketball and volleyball were invented in the western Massachusetts cities of Springfield and Holyoke, respectively. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to legally recognize same-sex marriage as a result of the decision in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Many prominent American political dynasties have hailed from the state, including the Adams and Kennedy families. Harvard University in Cambridge is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, with the largest financial endowment of any university, and Harvard Law School has educated a contemporaneous majority of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Kendall Square in Cambridge has been called the most innovative square mile on the planet, in reference to the high concentration of entrepreneurial start-ups and quality of innovation which have emerged in the vicinity of the square since 2010. Both Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also in Cambridge, have been ranked among the most highly regarded academic institutions in the world. Massachusetts' public school students place among the top nations in the world in academic performance, and the state has been ranked as one of the top states in the nation for citizens to live, as well as one of the most expensive.
