I teach intellectually gifted 4th graders. One of our novel studies is
My Dog Skip and another is
Chasing Vermeer. I had been researching Johannes Vermeer and George Rodrigue Blue Dog paintings to visit, and one of these was supposed to be here - I just couldn't remember which one. When we got to the museum, neither were. I guess it had been a traveling exhibit. I was sad that I didn't see either of them, but I enjoyed the rest of the museum.
On the positive side:
- It's easy to get to from the interstate.
- Parking is easy, free (in lot behind museum) or affordable (in the Boutwell Parking Deck) and very close by.
- It's free (they ask for a donation - your choice but it's worth it) unless there's a blockbuster exhibition.
- It's cool on a warm summer day.
On the negative side:
Ummm, can't think of anything. Maybe that it's closed on Mondays.

There's a restaurant in the museum - Oscar's at the Museum. We didn't eat here because we had plans to eat at The Magic City Grill, but there was a large crowd and it smelled yummy!!
It's a wonderful place to spend a few hours.
