Blanton Museum Checks Out

While still mad at the UT Regents for nixing the Swiss design that would have made the museum itself a work of art, I decided to check out the space during its extremely grand opening last Sunday with Virginia.

We only got to stay an hour, but I must say our impression was quite positive and we will be going back.

Their rotating exhibit is on the ground floor while their permanent collection of European and Modern/Contemporary art is upstairs. Cool things are a happening too. Every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. is free, so you can check it for yourself some Thursday evening. And, they have music and food and drink every first Friday of the month, tonight being the inaugural. Check it out, I think you'll dig.

The admin building that will contain the theaters and lecture hall is still being built, but soon, it will be an even more impressive place.
