Jill at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park tipped me off to a special event tomorrow night.
On Friday night, Guy Cogeval, the President of the Musee d’Orsay in Paris is speaking at 7pm on “Sneak Peek — Behind the Scenes at the Musee d’Orsay.†He’ll discuss the upcoming renovation of the Musee as well as the two special exhibitions coming to the de Young next summer – Birth of Impressionism and Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne and Beyond. The de Young will be the only museum in the world to receive both of them.
The lecture is free. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
