I saw it at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to do that.

Ha! I was at that museum just last week! I didn’t see most of it though, and missed the Faberge exhibit.
Pity. I would have liked to have seen it.

It's a great museum, no?!
You didn't miss it though. It's been loaned to the Met for five years.
I hope you had a great time!

I did! I spent a lot of time admiring their exhibit of art deco household items.
Wonderful!
