Happy Galentine’s Day! What’s Galentine’s Day? “It’s only the best day of the year.”

These three friends are from our @americanartmuseum​.

What Galentine’s Day would be complete without waffles? Go
ahead and treat yo’ self in celebration of female friendship, with this art
deco waffle iron in our National Museum of American History.

“You beautiful tropical fish.” This queen angelfish spotted at our marine station in Florida deserves all the compliments.

Galentine’s Day may have started as a holiday celebrating women on the TV show “Parks and Recreation,” but we have many real-life stories of female friendship and camaraderie throughout history. 

“This Galentine’s Day blog post is for you. You poetic, noble land-mermaid.”
