Where to check out some art #1

MUSEUM: La Pinacothèque
Now showing Edvard Munch, l'Anti-Cri
Because the Pinacothèque is famous for its very unique approach to tried and tested masters. Because the Munch exhibit is fascinating. Because The Scream is not in it and so you have to focus on all the other stuff. Because you'll finally be able to have an opinion on Munch (Res loves him now). Because you can download the exhibit guide as an App. Because the gift shop is fun.

La Pinacothèque
28 place de la Madeleine, Paris 8ème
metro: Madeleine
Edvard Munch expo on until July 18

MUSEUM: Jacquemart André
Now showing Du greco à Dali, collection de Perez Simon
Because it's got Frick Collection thing going, as in it's the house of art collectors (husband and wife team) and, like the Frick Collection, the house is probably the best part. Because the current expo is very original, and gives you a rapid but educational view into Hispanic painting from the 15th century to the 20th. Because it too, has an App. Because the salads (and the cakes) at the museum café are to die for.
