Meet me at the museum. . . . . . . . . .

I purchased timed tickets in advance to take granddaughter Jasmin to view

 two fabulous exhibitions at the North Carolina Museum of Art yesterday

 afternoon. The museum was extremely busy and lines were lengthy -

it was good to be able to walk right in.

 Drawn from "The Museum Set," M A S T E R W O R K S features 48 photographs

 curated by Ansel Adams to serve as a succinct representation of what he

 deemed the best work of his career. These stunning black and white photographs

 reveal the importance Adams placed on the awe-inspiring power and beauty of

 the natural world.

In a career that spanned more than five decades, 1902-1984 - (his first photo

 was taken at age 14 with the gift of a Kodak Brownie box camera) - Ansel Adams

 became one of America's most renowned and beloved photographers.

Included in this exhibition are Ansel Adams' most iconic images of

 majestic American landscapes such as El Capitan and the Half Dome in

 Yosemite National Park, The Golden Gate (before the bridge was built!) in

 San Francisco, and the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Ticketed with the Ansel Adams exhibition was Glory of Venice - 
Renaissance Paintings 1470-1520
I'll share this beautiful art in another post soon.

North Carolina Museum of Art - my photo from yesterday, a windy, chilly Sunday afternoon.

Yes, the tree is silver metal and is shown being installed HERE. It really is lovely.

Photography was not permitted inside the Ansel Adams exhibition gallery.

A thrilling Sunday at the museum made even more enjoyable with Jasmin,

 a budding photographer also, sharing it with me.

Do you enjoy visiting art museums?

Hoping you have one nearby.
