After two days' exhausting meeting in Carnegie Mellon University, I finally got the chance to visit my friends in Pittsburgh, PA. Rong was kind enough to spare his time to show me around the campus. I especially liked the School of Fine Arts building, inside which eight marble sculptures spanning Greek, Roman and Medieval times were illuminated, creating an immediate and unmistakable visual impact of Western fine arts. Meanwhile, art from other parts of world such as Islamic and Indian could be found outside the building, suggesting the School had an eye for all arts in the world although it was the study of European art that was at its heart. I also found their Cafe had a nice neon sign simply saying, what else, "Art".
