Photos & commentary from a whirlwind visit to Trelew.

Even though I saw this temporary exhibit at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga when it opened in June, I returned today for a second look… mainly because these Flemish tapestries deal with two cities I’m taking groups to this year.

Part of the permanent collection of the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao. Displayed during the excellent 2009 exhibit Novecentismo y Vanguardia (1910-1936).

Museums give visitors a quick look into a new place–a chance to see how local people present themselves to the world. Some people treat museums as an obligation while traveling, but I honestly look forward to it.
