Five Art Museums

(Published on: Jul 21, 2006)

Art museums are painters’ standing ovations. After a while you get to the point where you forget how many of them you’ve been to. I can’t get enough of that climate controlled museum air. And the accompanying gardens are always nice.

This morning I decided to come up with a list of my favorite art museums. These are American art museums I’ve visited in the last few years:

1. The Norton Simon Museum of Art
   Pasadena, CA

   • Degas bronze ballerinas
   • Vincent van Gogh’s mother

2. The Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum
   San Antonio, Texas

   • Paul Cézanne Houses on the Hill

3. Whitney Museum of American Art
   New York, NY

   • Edward Hopper Early Sunday Morning

4. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
   New York, NY

   • Mondrian



5. The Metropolitan Museum of Art
   New York, NY

   • Cezanne’s apples
