And We Are Not Afraid

If you visit New York City, the Roerich Museum on the Upper West Side may not be in your top 10 places to visit, but it should be. Inside, you will find more than 100 paintings by Nicholas Roerich devoted to peace, spirituality, and especially the grandeur of the Himalayas. But this collection is dwarfed by his life’s output of some 7000 pieces of art. In addition to paintings and drawings, Roerich also did set design, wrote on a number of topics, went on expeditions, was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize (three times!), and fought for cultural preservation around the world. Enjoy this scavenger hunt among some of his most famous works. You will need to search online for each of the paintings to answer questions about them.

This is AWESOME! I've been a fan of Roerich's artwork for years and I actually visited the New York museum last year; really interesting if slightly aloof place tucked away near the Hudson. I can recommend John McCannon's "The Artist Who Would Be King" as a fascinating (if deflating) biography. Looking forward to playing this!

Oh my gosh I love this series of badges. I’m an artist but hadn’t heard of Roerich until this. Beautiful works and a delight to chew on. Well done!

I cannot figure out the second clue. I have all the others and typed in the number three instead of using 3. What am I doing wrong with this one?

This was a great way to learn about Roerich, I've studied art history and have never heard of him!
