One of the biggest thrills of my life was getting to see: Tolouse Letrecs (spelling?) Moulin Rouge at the Chicago Art Museum, the Tiffany Glass exhibit as well as Van Gogh and other Impressionists at the Toledo Ohio Art musem - everything is so different when you see the real thing - and Salvadore Dali's Last Supper in Washingting DC. Especially the Impressionists. Prints do not do them justice - still, squares of paint????? The sad thing is most of those artists died in poverty. One of my greatest heartaches was being in Paris on the day the part of the Louvre was closed that had Van Gogh's stuff. I always wanted to see the real "Starry Night".
