wow.that's a powerful photo. The last time I saw Black Aggie, she was in the garden over at A.I.A. in Washington D.C., Of course, that was about 14 years ago. She might still be there.

She was removed by the family, since there was a bit of upset over the superstitions about her.

Ahh, thanks for the explanation. It seems understandable, although it is a bit of a drag to have sucha pretty statue gone.

I believe Black Aggie not resides in the basement of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.

Actually (er, sorry to butt in like a year later...) you can still visit her if you're interested. She's in the courtyard of the Dolley Madison house in DC- the Smithsonian pulled her out of storage several years ago.

No problem... but I refuse to go down in that basement, Aggie's statue haunts it now...

Hahaha, it must seem a bit more menacing, now that it's in a basement.

Yup! Along with all the other garbage that's down there... (Mummies, tombs figurines, etc.)
