Now that we are mostly settled in our new life in Los Angeles, it’s time to explore! We visited the L.A.

We planned our outing … More Los Angeles County Museum of Art

For our most recent visit in October I decided I wanted to check out a couple of galleries that I’d never ventured into before. I studied the map and chose gallery 316 as one to visit this time. I … More Minneapolis Institute of Art – an out of the ordinary visit
We love the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I follow the museum on Facebook and saw that they were open but that you needed a timed entry ticket to get in.
