Friday Featured Art: Panoramic View of the Palace and Gardens of Versailles

My husband and I were remembering this exhibit the other day but could not remember where we had seen it.  Panoramic View of the Palace and Gardens of Versailles by John Vanderlyn is a set of 19th century oil paintings on display at the Met.  It's so interesting to stand in the middle.

Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years

The Costume Institute at the Met is fascinating to me. You can view images online of an exhibit that they did on Jacqueline Kennedy's White House years. I love her dresses that were designed by Oleg Cassini. I especially like how modest her inaugural gown was!

The Met

I have read about the Metropolitan Museum of Art (and received their gift catalog) since I was in junior high. This summer I finally got to go! It was hours of enlightenment - and hopefully not too boring for my husband and father-in-law who were so kind to take me. I got this pair of earrings.
