I added to human knowledge on the Internet today!
Yesterday, Becky and I visited the New Orleans Museum of Art. (I will be posting pictures later). I took pictures of things that interested me, and some stuff that Becky wanted reference images of. Among the things I took pictures of were two paintings by the French Orientalist Jean-Léon Gérôme.
Though many of Gérôme's paintings are on the web, I was surprised to find out that the two Gérômes held by the New Orleans Museum of Art were not--in fact they weren't mentioned at all as even existing, so I uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons.

- Turkish Bashi Bazouk Mercenaries Playing Chess in a Market Place
- The Snake Charmer (Not the famous one that is all over the internet, but a different painting of the same name).
