Seen this weekend with the clan. Not sure what took me so long to go see this museum. Over 100 years old, this museum was founded on the belief that access to art and ideas and culture is integral to a vibrant and healthy civic life and I couldn't agree more. It's important to go and see and support these places before it's too late and the billionaires get their greedy mitts on them, and start charging Disneyland admissions!!! Art should be able to be viewed by all. The museum had a great exhibit called the Cone Collection, with over 1, 200 works by Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne, Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Renoir. The George A Lucas Collection was very impressive, with over 18,000 French mid-19th century works, and one of the greatest single holdings of French art in the US. I also enjoyed the African and Native American art as well, not to mention there was a pretty impressive sculpture collection in the gardens surrounding the museum. I have been going to Baltimore for years. Shame on me for not going to this place sooner.

ReplyDeleteThe art curation is genius. Art Museums are essential.
That flower/color installation is fab.
XOXO
When I first came across that I thought one of the Villbergs was sitting there!
DeleteBeen there once, we should go back.
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks like heaven. I would love that. But I can’t believe it’s been there more than 100 years and you couldn’t even be bothered to go to the grand opening.
ReplyDeleteHow'd you know I was a vampire?
