One thing I particularly like about museums like the Galleria Doria Pamphilij, is the overabundance of detail everywhere: ceilings, odd corners (hello, St. Sebastian!), patterned decorative wall painting & sculptural curtain tie-backs. #ITweetMuseums #GalleriaDoriaPamphilj
Though a common design strategy, I still love it when museums use exhibition objects as clear inspiration for the graphic identity of an exhibition. Here, the newly opened "Feathers: Fashion and the Fight for Wildlife" @NYHistory. #FightForFeathers #ITweetMuseums
This grisly scene caused a sensation when first exhibited (and made the artist a fortune through selling prints of its design.) It's one of those images that still holds power today in the @ngadc gallery. Detail, #JohnSingletonCopley, Watson and the Shark, 1778. #ITweetMuseums
Ahhhh... Sometimes you get to sit in the El Greco gallery @ngadc all by yourself. Detail, Laocoön, ca. 1610-1614. #ITweetMuseums #ElGreco #myngadc
A fave gallery in the new presentation of @thejewishmuseum's permanent collection is this selection of the "Underwood #Stereograph Travel System." 3D glimpses of wondrous places resonate w/ me as a universal pining for the "someplace else." #ITweetMuseums #JewishMuseumCollection
Even without reading the exhibition label, it's clear from the eyes alone that this is a sketch of a mesmerizing psychic. #Modigliani, Table-turning, or Portrait of a Medium, ca. 1906. #ModiglianiUnmasked #ITweetMuseums 🌀🌀
...it's not all drawings though. Many of the paintings are on loan from private collections, so this exhibition is a unique opportunity to experience them. I was immediately captivated by the jovial mug of Docteur Devaraigne, 1917. #ModiglianiUnmasked #ITweetMuseums
@TheJewishMuseum This drawing-focused exhibition gives you a great opportunity to see an artist, early in his career, working through different ways of sketching facial details, like the animated #moustache of Paul Alexandre (all 1909). #ModiglianiUnmasked #ITweetMuseums
#Museum30 Day 7: Something small, but with a tremendous impact: an early 1900s cervical cap that women could use themselves, finally giving them far-reaching control over reproduction. On view now @NYHistory in the "Hotbed" exhibition. See: https://t.co/UT1WFtFCKw #ITweetMuseums
Lost myself @smithartmuseum, my 1st visit, spent 5 hrs there, missed lunch, and only left to catch a train. Art exhaustion is real, but it's my fave way to burn. Detail, Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, Clytemnestra Hesitating before Stabbing the Sleeping Agamemnon, ~1817. #ITweetMuseums
I think this is the first time I've seen a #BetyeSaar work in person! This elaborate sculpture, Ancestral Spirit Chair, 1992, really forefronts aspects from her African American, Irish & Native American heritage. #ITweetMuseums
I'm greatful that this fresco by #RufinoTamayo, Nature and the Artist: the Work of Art and the Observer, 1943, was saved and moved to @smithartmuseum, but just look at how it was originally situated in Hillyer Library at @smithcollege! #ITweetMuseums
I was drawn to a lot of the contemporary art at @smithartmuseum, but the details in this large sculpture kept me circling it and going in for closer examination. #AndrewLyght, Painting Structure 014-010-64171, series 3, 1978. #ITweetMuseums
@mna_inah Puff away! The details I'm finding at @mna_inah are incredible. This little guy is from Bolaños, Jalisco, 135-440 AD. #ITweetMuseums 🚬
Whoa! The entrance courtyard to @mna_inah is about as dramatic as it gets! #ITweetMuseums #TerritoriosInexplorados
@QueensMuseum They've temporarily added illuminated models of the might-have-been buildings in #NeverBuiltNY to the famous NYC Panorama! #ITweetMuseums
@americanart Detail, #ThomasHartBenton, Achelous and Hercules, 1947. Love this story as imagined through Benton's Midwestern lens. #ITweetMuseums #atSAAM
@americanart The Luce Center Art Storage Center @americanart has didactic signage about accession #s & addresses core questions. #ITweetMuseums #atSAAM
@rijksmuseum #JanSteen, The Baker & His Wife, 1658, always makes me 😀. I'm particularly amused by the dainty way the wife hold her loaf. #ITweetMuseums
@vangoghmuseum 👏🏼 to @vangoghmuseum for this simple, yet impactful way to digitally flip through VG's sketchbooks. So much insight gained. #ITweetMuseums
