Time to open up a big ol' can of high culture on all y'alls backsides:
I just got back from going through this incredible exhibit at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and I have to say I was blown away. I am amazed that UMFA was able to obtain such a priceless collection for exhibit. I'm not a huge art guy but after seeing the exhibit I have changed my mind a bit. The works in this exhibits are all by the Big Guns of 19th and 20th century art - Monet, Cezanne, Rodin, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse to name a few - and they are all sitting right there in little old Salt Lake.
This might truly be a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to see the masters. I would highly recommend the exhibit to anyone. |

How long will it be here? That's a 4 hour drive so I'll have to make a bit of plans to see it. It sounds soo worth it though!
Anyone have a link? |

I didn't even know a redneck from Blanding would be allowed at such a place but if someone from Monticello got in I might give it a try :lol8:
Thanks for the info :2thumbs: |

All of the above (fake id, disguised as "the help", and snuck in the back). I'm planning on going back again in the next couple of weeks with my wife.
P.S. Don't get closer than two feet to each picture unless you are hankerin' for a take-down and body cavity search. |
