So my friend John Villalino is a bit of a culture vulture. We wind up attending a bunch of museum exhibits frequently. There could be worse habits. Our last foray took us to the LACMA for the Gustav Klimt exhibition of his controversual paintings.

Controversial in that the paintings have only recently been returned to their "rightful" owners. I use quotes because the owner never actually owned them but would have supposedly inheirited them had the Nazis not taken them back to Germany. I am not standing up for Nazis I am just not sure if the connotations of the word "rightful" imply what is meant here.
But the controversy itself is quite fascinating. It all reminds me of a musical play I am working on. It is about a little girl who is forced to live with her family in the attic of a factory in order to hide from the Nazis. It is told in the form of her reading from her journal. Tired of her situation the girl fashions a giant mechanical savior from the spare parts from the factory. It's called "The Diary of Ann's Frankenstein"
