Summer Art Museums---Not so Hot

Hot thin crowds; Hot thin exhibits
Is it possible, Met? 10 exhibits running simultaneously, as well as the permanent collection. From Picasso to Hipsters, from Italian drawings to American fashion, from King Tut's funeral to photos of handball players.
Sounds like a formula for success?
Not.
Spend your money on the Frick showing 75 years of collecting.
Avoid the Brooklyn Museum of Art, also doing American women's fashion with another Andy Warhol splash.
Go to Brooklyn for the Rodins in the lobby, FREE. Pictures in the August issue of Traditional Home magazine.
Frick is pricey but worth it. Met and BMA are suggested donation--you can get in for $1.00 without hassle.
More to come- Linnie
