Columbus, OH

We are heading into November already. It’s hard to believe isn’t it? Summer is officially behind us and the holidays are right around the corner. Well the weekend is here and you might as well get out and enjoy a little decent weather and sunshine while we still have it.

You could . . .

Spend some time with the masters at the Columbus Museum of Art. The museum is featuring In Monet’s Garden: The Lure of Giverny which is a look at how the Giverny area influenced Monet and numerous artists that followed. In addition to the 10 works by Monet himself, there are 30 other pieces by artists that visited the area after Monet and used it as their inspiration. You will see works dated from Monet to the present day.
