Warhol comes to Cleveland
May 1st, 2009 at 1:00PM: So, you know Andy Warhol is in Paris right now. Of course, even the best travel deals can still leave Europe's cultural capital out of reach. Fortunately, you now have a backup plan: Cleveland.
The Cleaveland Institute of Art will be hosting a series of prints created by Warhol from 1974 to 1986 (from the Cochran Collection). Uncle Sam, Superman and Mickey Mouse will be in attendance – a ...Three important American artists and their museums
Apr 30th, 2009 at 9:30AM:
Tom's post about the exhibit in Paris of Andy Warhol's work reminded me of the wonderful Warhol experience I had this past fall at the Wexner Center and my interest in going to the Warhol Museum on Pittsburgh. Museums dedicated primarily to the work of one artist is a way to really see what made a particular artist tick and why his or her work is important to the art scene and culture.
If you ...Hang with Andy Warhol in Paris
Apr 29th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Elvis may have left the building, but the man who immortalized him (no, not the colonel) has left his mark.
The Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais has scored a major win: the museum is playing host to 250 works by Andy Warhol. Quite simply, this doesn't happen. The exhibition, called "Warhol's Wide World," is a rare opportunity for pop art fanatics to immerse themselves in the accomplishments of ...Peeps contests: The world through marshmallow bunnies and chicks
Apr 12th, 2009 at 9:30AM: Perhaps you've browsed through the "Peeps in Places" photo contest entries at Intelligent Travel. People have been snapping pictures of marsmallow chicks and bunnies in a variety of spots for a chance to win a Lenox China Peep or other Peeps related prizes.

Along with being a cool idea--wish we'd thought of it--watching the slide show ...Andy Warhol exhibit: Other Voices, Other Rooms
Feb 10th, 2009 at 9:30AM: Back in August, it seemed as if there would be oodles of time to revisit "Andy Warhol: Other Voices Other Rooms," the exhibit at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Time, however, has a way of speeding by faster than I anticipated. After this Sunday, the fabulous exhibit of everything Warhol that has taken over the entire art museum at The Ohio State University in Columbus will be dismantled.
The ...Eiteljorg Museum of Native Americans and Western Art
Sep 27th, 2007 at 2:02PM: The Eiteljorg Museum of Native Americans and Western Art is located where I didn't expect it to be. I don't know why it surprises me that it's in Indianapolis, Indiana. I assumed it was in the Southwestern part of the United States. But, now that I've typed out Indianapolis, Indiana, and see how the word Indian appears twice, I think, well that's fitting. According to the Web site, the museum is ...
New World of Coca-Cola Museum Opens Today
May 24th, 2007 at 4:20PM:
Once in a while one story leads to another. I was writing a post about Winter, the guy who is traveling around the world visiting Starbucks, when I headed to the Coca-Cola museum Web site. It turns out there is a grand opening today in Atlanta, Georgia. The Coca-Cola museum has a new look. It's now called The New World of Coca-Cola Museum. Through Memorial Day (Monday) the celebration is taking ...Beautiful Cities in Dreams
Apr 12th, 2006 at 6:32PM: Isn't funny how our dreams can
capture places we've never been, yet only seen on TV or in some glossy magazine with such detail and color, that you
would wake having sworn you had been? For some of you, your journey to Paris or Prague will only take place during the
dark hours of night, while others will twirl pencils for moments on end, daydreaming about being anywhere, but in the
office. Then ...
