Museums

Today I visited the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Dallas Museum of Art. The DMA has a temporary exhibition that I absolutely loved:



A Painting in the Palm of Your Hand: 18th-Century
Painted Fans from the Wendy and Emery Reves Collection

Fans are more than practical; they are a communication tool. From Grand Tour souvenirs to statements about women in society, the variations that a paper fan can undertake have certainly caught my fascination.
