I'm on my way to visit my cousin Terry in Bostic, North Carolina, and decided to drive through Columbia, SC on my way. I've never before been in Columbia, and discovered a nice old-fashioned downtown, and the Museum of Art. I spent an enjoyable few hours...
Well, it was bound to happen. I finally visited an Art Museum without finding a single piece of art I actually liked! It is quite small, and is attached to the nearby university, and had a lot of art by the students and professors. But - it was still worth a visit...
My 12-year-old granddaughter Lily and I visited our newest museum in Savannah this week. The African Art Museum is the private collection of a Savannah man, acquired over a period of 30 years. He wanted to share it with the community, and we are truly blessed here...
We are very fortunate here in Savannah to have two art museums, the Telfair, which houses more traditional exhibitions in an beautiful antebellum...
After all my trips to Atlanta, I finally made it to their Art Museum. It is very nice, housed in an attractive purpose-built building. They also had a nice cafe, where I enjoyed having lunch. Having so recently been to the Milwaukee Museum of Art, which is truly...
Today the Milwaukee Art Museum is one of the largest art museums in the United States. Begun back in 1888 when Milwaukee was just a small port town on Lake Michigan it has expanded over the years until today it is one of the most amazing museums I have visited. The...
I know I always say I have never found a museum I didn't like, but there wasn't a lot that caught my fancy in the Muskegon Museum of Art. Maybe I'm getting jaded in my old age? The main exhibition in this small museum was a retrospective of the work of Edward Curtis,...
As I left Orlando last Saturday I made my way to Winter Park, and the Morse Museum. This is my third visit to the largest collection of Tiffany art there is. I have always loved the decorative art of Louis Comfort Tiffany, and so it was a real thrill when I...
The Art Museum in Fort Wayne is right downtown, and part of a Museum Complex. It is a beautiful new building, with lots of natural light. I especially wanted to see their newly-acquired Chihully chandelier. I was lucky that they were also having an...
I finally made it to the South Bend Museum of Art! The nearest, most familiar places somehow seem to be the hardest to get to. It is housed in Century Center, right in downtown South Bend. Century Center was built in 1977, and my university graduation was...
I know I've said before that one of my favorite parts of travel is the unexpected. I was dubious as to how much I would enjoy a "cowboy museum" but I found a wonderful museum with so much more than I expected - all in a beautiful building, with everything beautifully...
Greenville, SC - turned out to be a really neat city. Great downtown area, and this wonderful museum complex.
