A Day at the DMA

The Dallas Museum of Art is a short drive from our abode so we dropped in to check out what was happening with the artsy crowd. It was not a weekend so we had plenty of room to peruse the paintings, unlike some crushing exhibits we have viewed at the Art Institute of Chicago during one of our past lives. Well, you know ...... here in Texas we're fans of the wide open spaces.

It's spring/summer here, but we did not dawdle in the sculpture garden because the first rule of museum meandering (besides comfortable shoes, of course) is realizing you can't see it all in one visit.

So we signed in and signed up and insisted we "wouldn't be strangers."

The Lens of Impressionism was actually quite interesting, mixing the art and photographs of the early impressionists and integrating iPhone images of Normandy as it is today.

Through the looking glass before lunch at 1717 - but that's a blog for another day. And for our Ann Arbor amis, this exhibit is in conjunction with the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Just can't get away from all that culture ......
