Been Here, Done These

I love the Museum of Fine Arts, though not as much as Ron does. He is a docent there and has been for years now.

Yesterday, I went to these two exhibits. It was horrendously hot out, but cool inside, even the parts that were not climate controlled.

I am a real fan of all of the Bruegel/Brueghel's works of art: Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan Brueghel the Elder  and Jan Brueghel the Younger, so I was really anticipating great things from this exhibit. I was partially disappointed in the fact that the Bruegel's were minimal participants with only five pieces of over one hundred. Nevertheless, the display was phenomenal and well worth my time.

The other exhibit that I went to was this one.

Of course being a photographer, I loved this exhibit. Everything at both showings were translated into English, which was wonderful. What I would have liked for the photography exhibit is some explanation about the early processes that they label the different photos. I have take photography classes as an undergraduate student, but there were some types of the early photography applications that I had never heard of. Either way, both exhibits were super, but by the time I finished, I was on sensory overload for certain.

The Kim Files 5

Sunday was a bit more relaxed. We went to the Museum of Fine Arts, where Ron is a docent. He gave us a spectacular tour of the 19th century and Spanish Galleries. We breezed through the Dutch gallery and then went to see the temporary exhibit of Israeli treasures, some from over 9,000 years old in addition to a piece of the Dead Sea Scrolls and masterpieces by Rembrandt, Chagall and Rodin. We had guests arriving; Ron took off for home to greet them, while Kim and I went to Gerloczy restaurant for an early dinner. We had tickets, we thought for a concert of Cuban Shephardic Jewish music at 8:00 pm. When we got home, an e-mail from the guests stated they would not be arriving until 8:00 pm, so Ron and Kim went to the concert while I volunteer (happily, I may add) to wait behind. As it turned out, the concert started at 7:00 pm and it was a different concert. The guests arrived, I spun them through the apartment and ran out. When I arrived, I was disappointed in the concert since I expected more Cuban culture to be displayed, but it was only afterward I found out it was the wrong tickets. Afterward, we went to Arriba for a burrito.
