Great spot! If youâre in Philly, gotta go. itâs pay what you want every Friday 5-9pm and the first Sunday of every month. They have all kinds of artâ sculpture and paintings and masonry and so many eras of paintings. My favorite sections are the shaker furniture, american glasswork, the japanese tea house, and the living rooms from the hoi polli of manhattan in the 1900âs.

I loved the big one at the Met a couple years back - this show is smaller but has some gems like this Magritte painting. I didnât know Magritte had this kind of depth
Also the Pompidou is about to close in 5 years so if youâre in Paris I hope youâre seeing this post

đŸthis summer, weâre starting yoga, weâre learning a new language (being bilingual is now the standard, you need to know at least three to be truly chic), weâre going to concerts just because the tickets were cheap, weâre going to museums (especially the weird ones), hitting up the local library to ask for new recommendations, whether itâs a surprise or based on past tastes, weâre painting, collecting and collaging, sewing and embroidering our clothes, re-learning the harmonica, playing chess with strangers online and at the cafĂ©, weâre taking up tennis and pretending itâs not just because of challengers. the only way to find what brings you joy is to try.

I had to go to Greenwood Cemetery for a class last semester, and many famous people like Leonard Bernstein and Jean-Michel Basquiat are buried there, but I stumbled upon this womanâs grave that read âFORTUNATE DESPERATE TRUSTFULâ and I was so upset by the idea of someone putting desperate on my grave that I had to look her up. her name was Eleonora Duse, apparently she was often known as just Duse (so chic), she was an amazing Italian actress, muse, and, importantly, was involved in numerous lesbian love affairs.
I think itâs in many ways much more respectful to learn about the people you pass by, rather than just letting them go on unacknowledged and unknown.
