The National gallery is undergoing some repair work to the great hall. The whole room is made of windows and they are all being replaced as they leak. Big renovation and expense!
The special exhibit at the NAG is Sakahan, meaning to light a fire in Algonquin. It includes more than 150 artworks by over 80 artists from 16 different countries. Many different media are used in this contemporary exhibit. Very interesting!
One interesting exhibit was a tower of blankets by Marie Watt. She is interested in human stories through everyday objects. Each blanket had a story attached to it.
A new outdoor sculpture called Majestic is composed of lamp posts salvaged after the hurricane that hit Louisiana.
On the way back to the hotel I stopped and had gelato - peanut butter and jam, and chocolate raspberry. Oooo la la! I also found a yarn store right beside the hotel. Imagine that!
