If Oriental carpets are your bag, we’ve got you covered this weekend: join us Friday evening for Old or New, Fake or Real, a lecture with world-renowned expert on the subject Walter B. Denny. Then on Saturday, be a part of How to Love Your Stuff: Oriental Carpets, a workshop w/ Denny where you’ll learn about different carpet types, designs, knots, and weaves, as well as practical ideas for storage, handling, and display.

This morning, we attended a dedication ceremony for our Sol LeWitt garden, titled Lines in Four Directions in Flowers. Over thirty years since its original conception, the garden is made up of more than 7,000 plantings arranged in strategically configured rows. Enjoy!

We are thrilled to be a Blue Star Museum again this summer! Thanks to a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and the Department of Defense, active duty military personnel and their families will receive FREE admission to the Museum from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2012. This drawing, titled Blue Star Renoir, was created by 8-year-old Marika Skwarek when she visited us last summer and was inspired by the Impressionist collections (namely Renoir’s Portrait of Mademoiselle Legrand). Her work is featured in this month’s issue of the American Association of Museums’ magazine.
