Valentine's Day at MFA
Lacking enthusiasm for the crowded restaurant scene on Valentine's Day, we opted for a visit to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. We preceded that with a visit a couple of blocks up Huntington Avenue to R. Crumb's Underground exhibit at MassArt. A tip of the hat to Mr Bloom for cluing us in, first a few months back when this exhibit was in Philidelphia (plausible but not practical for a visit), and again when the show arrived locally.
At MassArt, we also took in Figuratively Seeing, a collection of portraits by contemporary artists. From there we had lunch at the MFA cafeteria, and then to the MFA's Photographic Figures. Josie took a lot in, but by late afternoon it was nap time. Jen tells me that I move along too slowly from picture to picture to keep a youngster engaged in it all.
Afterwords, we did end up eating out. Nothing fancy, but a new find for us: a very enjoyable Chinese restaurant, Quindao Garden, not far from Teel Street. They do dumplings!
