Great spot! If you’re in Philly, gotta go. it’s pay what you want every Friday 5-9pm and the first Sunday of every month. They have all kinds of art— 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 1900’s.

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 didn’t know Magritte had this kind of depth
Also the Pompidou is about to close in 5 years so if you’re in Paris I hope you’re seeing this post

the Philadelphia Museum of Art has so many great exhibits (currently A Dialogue or a Dance: Portraits in Collaboration, Begin Again: Repetition in Contemporary Art, and Mysteries, Copies and Forgeries), but as someone who tends to gravitate towards paintings and photography, this was a surprising favorite of mine

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

the guy at the store should know you, the man running the halal truck should know your order, your barista should know your name and you should know theirs, you should have a borderline flirtatious banter going with a bartender at your favorite dive bar
