Friday fine arts: Google’s Art Project is awesome. Period.
Pictured: Ye Olde Tapestry
I have become obsessed with this new tool since it first came out. I’ve been to MoMA, the Palace of Versailles, The Freer Gallery of Art and Alte Nationalgalerie in a matter of days. I’ve practically stared up Marie Antoinette’s nostrils. I’ve zoomed in and out of Starry Night. I just now, writing this post, went to the Met and looked at Ye Olde tapestries.
Many of you know that I am also reasonably obsessed with museums in general and art museums in particular, so this is everything I’ve ever wanted forever, basically. So perdy.
Of course they don’t have the NCMA yet, because I don’t think it’s famous enough (it should be) yet. I’m going to go back and visit the weekend of the 26, because I love it that much. And for a project. But mostly because I love it.
I was fortunate to see the Norman Rockwell, John James Audubon and Eric Carle exhibits that just recently closed. It was quite fun… went with the whole family (and Boyfriend) and moseyed along. My favorite Rockwell peice is definitely “The Winner.” I may or may not relate to it. Hm.
Also speaking of family, I’m getting a tiny baby cousin this weekend. Baby Batman is going to be born in Korea tomorrow or soon after. Yay!
I love to ramble. Yikes.
