10:15 am

rururocks

Guernica is in a spanish museum i think

10:15 am

Shirlockc

first time i saw starry night, i was wowed by "how big it was" -- you just don't get that unless you see it in person

10:16 am

hokie carla

same thing I thought about the grand canyon 😁, well that and the colors

10:16 am

rururocks

It is a small painting. But the thickness of it is insane

10:16 am

welki

<-- will stare at water lilies instead

10:16 am

rururocks

Oh yeah those are great

10:17 am

Shirlockc

OTOH, the mona lisa was just meh

10:18 am

welki

thanks for the memories, ru - i'd wander around for hours, then pop across the street to the library, head to central park for a shaefer concert if there was one ... those were the days

10:19 am

welki

flying out of newark tonight?

10:19 am

hokie carla

I've never been a big art person, but I did really enjoy the renaissance thing at biltmore last year and the crystal bridges museum.

10:19 am

Shirlockc

the redone midtown library is v nice: AC, Wifi, water fountains, bathrooms, books and nice seating

10:19 am

Shirlockc

NYPL is nice too, they have an exhibit in there and FREE

10:25 am

Shirlockc

10:26 am

hokie carla

I might have tried it twice

10:26 am

hokie carla

10:26 am

rururocks

Sayeth it not so

10:27 am

Shirlockc

10:28 am

hokie carla

10:28 am

rururocks

No. Just bruised my right knee badly. It hurts a bit

10:28 am

cybernan

is there a collection of renaissance/impressionist art at MOMA just ow?

10:29 am

cybernan

I'll bet --- be careful walking on all those cobblestone streets!

10:29 am

Shirlockc

ooo, thx hokie

10:29 am

rururocks

Yes. They are always there

10:30 am

hokie carla

10:31 am

sajarn

phantom: doyenne

10:32 am

cybernan

funny --- I thought the Mona Lisa was in the gand Monet's water lilies in the Dorsay and Starry Night at the VanGogh Museum in Nice.

10:33 am

Shirlockc

good word sajarn

10:33 am

cybernan

*Mona's permaent home is the Louvre I believe

10:35 am

Shirlockc

with it's own wing, i believe

10:36 am

Shirlockc

there's a version of the Water lilies in the Moma in NYC and Starry Night is there unless it's on loan

10:36 am

hokie carla

well, I found 2 of my 4s. still 3-4-6-4 left. the tour de france is over for the day so I guess I will get a move on.

10:37 am

hokie carla

oh, just found another 4, my top A

10:39 am

cybernan

I am guessing you are right Shirl - Monet made over 200 paintings of his water lily garden

10:43 am

cybernan

When I saw mona it was at the end of a room full of Da Vinci's locked behind glass and a railing. You could hardly see it for the crowd surrounding it

10:44 am

Shirlockc

that's how I remembered it too, cyber

10:45 am

Shirlockc

didn't do anything for me -- saw other great things at the Louvre, that was not a highlight

10:46 am

Shirlockc

Psyche and Eros statue was and still my fav at the Louvre

10:47 am

cybernan

I liked it, but did you go to his manor house in Amboise? I thought that was a lot more interesting.

10:50 am

Shirlockc

didn't do amboise, was in Paris for a vacation and was to fly out Sept 11, yes that one, so spent more time at the Lourvre than I thought i would

10:50 am

cybernan

I guess - everything was grounded for a week wasn't it?

10:53 am

Shirlockc

grounded, ended up on an european bus tour full of chinese tourists (I'm chinese myself as is my friend and traveling companion) so we did the picture worthy tourist spots

10:54 am

cybernan

a bus tour around Paris or elsewhere?

10:55 am

Shirlockc

European bus tour -- i must admit my memory is foggy on where we went -- brussels and chatres as i remember the peeing boy statue and the church but otherwise ...

10:57 am

cybernan

Have been to all those places - fun times. I really miss travelling so much.

10:57 am

Shirlockc

plus the tour guide only spoke mandarin (mine is v rusty) and this was pre internet so it wasn't like i could google

11:05 am

cybernan

at least you could understand some!
