Monet In Seoul
Saejin and I have been talking about going to the Monet Exhibition since it opened in June. Twice already we have made it to the area around the musuem planning on going but were easily distracted by anything, well shinny or bright or digestible or that starts with a "b" and ends in "eer".
With the show a week from closing we made it there this weekend and pretended we knew a thing or two about the impressionist movement. The Seoul Museum of Arts is one of those museums that forces your head a little higher, forbids you from lifting your feet as you walk and you are expected to speak to others without looking at them. Making it three quaters of the way through the museum we had to stop off for a coffee to wake us up. It was boring but fun doing something different and we will be heading back there soon to fake our knowledge of Vincent Van Gogh's exhibit that is coming this November.

VVG is fab! It does depend on where you see it tho. I recently holidayed in Provence, a few minutes walk from the hospital where he stayed and painted like crazy. Starry night is a personal fave and he painted in St Remy de provence where we stayed.
If they're displayed in a stiff and starchy environment tho it'll seem dull - you need to be able to barge about about and make noise - drinking beer helps too but I doubt they'd allow it. ;¬)
