Joani found the Columbus Museum of Art was free on Sunday which always makes an art museum just a little bit more enticing. The drive from Lancaster was short and the cool overcast day meant Sam could ride along. We even found him a little bit of shade in the parking lot.
Given the sleek ultra-modern facade, it was no surprise to find a lot of modern art that made you say "huh." What was surprising was just how many notable artists were represented in the gallery. With work on display from Degas, Monet, Bierstadt and even Norman Rockwell (some of Joani's favorites) this museum was a pleasure to visit.

I am drawn to the misty center of Bierstadt's King Lake, California (enlarged above). The soft details are so striking. I want to find this place, but alas, it does not show up on google maps.

Of course, they had some Dale Chihuly glass. I think Dale would like to make his presence known everywhere and he is doing a pretty good job - we've seen his work in far too many places to count anymore.
