Art Museums
Yesterday, we went to the Gardner to see Danijel Zezelj's drawings for his graphic novel, Stray Dogs.
Last week, a survey at the Peabody wanted to know how many times we visit museums a year. I have no idea. One precept of the Tinderbox Way is to write it down. So, here's a rough list of the art museums I've visited this year.
- Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston
- Peabody-Essex Museum, Salem
- Art Institute of Chicago
- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
- DeCordova Museum, Boston
- Museum of Our National Heritage, Concord
- Ogunquit Museum of Art, Ogunquit
- Alte Pinakothek, Munich
- Neue Pinakothek, Munich
- Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago
- Museum der Moderne, Salzburg
- The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
- National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne
- NGV Austalia, Melbourne
- Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
- Dahesh Museum of Art, New York
- Musée d'Orsay, Paris
- Musée Marmottan, Paris
- Fogg Museum, Cambridge
- SF MOMA
- DeYoung Museum, San Francisco
- Rhode Island School of Design
- Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium
That's more than I expected. (I bet I missed one or two, too...) I'm not an artist, or a collector, or even a student of art. At most, I'm a Sunday painter who hasn't been painting much for a couple of years. Hmmmm.
