My family and I saw the Julia Child exhibition at The Henry Ford and it was superb! You made me fall in love with her all over again and I learned new fascinating details. My daughter loved the interactive aspects -smelling the bouillabaisse in a heavy copper pot and recreating the bathtime Valentine's Day card, and debuting her own cooking show! It really was such a fun time and I can't wait to take my mom to see it.
Congratulations on a fantastic and delightful exhibition!
Sincerely,
