Well
fine. Evidently everyone in Fort Worth knew that the Kimball
Art Museum
entry was half
price on Tuesdays; we didn’t. So we joined the rest of the
grey-hairs and the bus loads of school students to view the early works of Monet. At this time in his
career, the waterlilies were only buds. However, there were some other amazing
pieces to be enjoyed. If you click on the Monet link just above, you’ll be able
to see some of these paintings. All of these pieces came from other museums.
The picture of Monet’s son asleep in his bed came from the Glyptotek in Denmark
(See Går
rundt Copenhagen del to), and we’d actually seen it there this summer. While
we couldn’t take pictures in the Monet exhibit, we were allowed to photograph
the Asian Collection. This is a permanent exhibit with some lovely pieces that
caught the attention of one young patron. She positioned herself in front of a
vase and proceeded to draw a fairly good representation of it. I was surprised
that there were no rabbits gracing any of the screens since they are such a
prominent animal in Asian cultures. There was, however, one animal that was
attracting attention: one of the visitors had with her an assistance dog.
