Check it out. I make special trips to Baltimore just to visit this museum! Just exploring the building alone is worth the price of admission. No kidding!
I've been to the American Visionary Art Museum - I went to Baltimore for the Kinetic Sculpture Race one year... Baltimore is a cool city and I lived there for a short time... But it's been awhile so perhaps it's worth a return trip.
I LOVE the Sackler gallery and usually take in the Freer whilst visiting. So glad you mentioned this gem. These are galleries I never tire of!
What about Philly area, I've explored that city and region least of all. I think my 'trouble' with Philly is that I dislike driving into and around the city much more than the others in the megalopolis. I've been to the Philly art museum and the Museum of anthroplogy/archaeology - and one other one but I can't remember.
*sigh* Been to both, tired of them for the moment... Anywhere in SoHo you especially recommend that I may have missed? I was there last year, 2010, in the spring.
Tho I'm looking forward to the Barnes relocation - still underway as far as I last heard
Hmmm well what are you hungering for? Lol. In Soho I like all the outside sitting areas to restaurants where you can watch the new artist. Since I'm getting up there in at the age of 34. I'm a fine artist myself. I am fascinated with Art Noveau, abstract, some contemptary art, digital and graphics art. I am mesmerized with the ceramics art because I'm the artist that just isn't great at it.
Raena, you are right. I think part of my boredom may be that I'm not giving myself enough time to spend in the area these days. I'm feeling tired and short of time and money most of the time! One of the best shows I ever saw was one of the first Lisa Yuskavage exhibits in Philadelphia and I completely stumbled into it after seeing it across the street from the wretched tex-mex restaurant where I was dining, now that I stop to recall.
A big YES! to contemporary ceramics - my god, some of that stuff is astonishing, like a little universe. I like anything as long as it's good - from 'outsider' and naive and primitive art to the most technical and abstract.
Another question: I haven't yet been to the Cloisters in NYC -worth a visit?
