We went on a private tour, bought by a friend at a charity auction, of the New Britain Museum of American Art. The new building opened just last April and it is a real gem. What I love about the museum is the quality of the collection and the museum's intimacy. Doug Hyland gave us a wonderful tour. He is very knowledgeable and, once you get past the museum demeanor, a pleasant person.
The Benton murals are still moving after the many times I've seen them. The collection is diverse and well mounted - you flow easily and feel contented even after only an hour.
It was great to see Susan, Jim, Debbie and Jim, again. We are really an odd set of couples, but somehow it works.
