Weekend Plans
Been thinking about what to do this weekend…if Danny doesn’t decide to wash it out here in DC. The models generated at my work seem to be a bit conflicted at the moment.
However, I am going to assume the best! And what might my weekend entail? Museum! Yay! In fact, two museums! Double yay!
The first one I want to hit up is the National Geographic Society Museum. They currently have two exhibitions I want to look at. One is “Lions and Leopards” by the famous Jouberts. Maybe you don’t recognize the name, but you’d recognize their photos, I bet! The other exhibition is “Kodachrome Culture” which celebrates “the American tourist in Europe” and their photos using Kodachrome film. It also is a bit of a tribute to Kodachrome which Kodak recently stopped production on.
The other museum I plan to visit is the OAS’ Art Museum of the Americas. They have an exhibit on Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona, master of the red brick. I’m a bit of an architecture nut, so I’m excited about this one.
In fact, it isn’t my first architecture exhibit at the OAS. They had a Niemeyer exhibit there last year which was great as well. But then, I love love love Niemeyer. One of my current goals in life is to go to Brasília and view all of Niemeyer’s works there. Ahh…perchance to dream.
Other than the museum, the weekend is probably normality. Library, grocery store, Trader Joe’s…
Yours in weekend,
Matt
Danny brought us a helluva lot of rain here Saturday evening/overnight Saturday. I love a good rainstorm – unfortunately we were driving home from my mom’s in it..BAH!
So what did you end up doing over the weekend??

Oh, pretty much what the post says. When to the OAS’ museum and the National Geographic Society’s museum, along with the Corcoran Gallery which was having a free day. (In fact, that free day was the only reason I decided to go on hot, humid, swampy Saturday and not on Sunday, which was kinda nice.)
Of the three, I liked the Salmona exhibit the best, but that’s just the architecture nerd in me.
Glad to hear your weekend was good…save for tropical storm driving!
