museums
A recent query of shows that I can remember seeing. I have a nice little
database going with every art event I can remember seeing in all
countries and my views on them. I will update this from time to time
and post different queries. It may be handy to other art travelers. I have
all information in the database and links to all the museums and cities
they were at. Even some dates. This is slightly outdated and doesn't have
the shows from Italy yet. I also have other things like architeture, site
specific work, and temporary installations.
