The wife and I have been weighing up the Mozart exhibition but it doesn't seem to be worth it. Pictures of the house he was born in, letters, original manuscripts and what not - it doesn't seem to have anything one couldn't see in a book or on the net. It might be a better use of time and money to go to a local chamber concert and hear some of his music instead.

I checked out the Monet exhibit on a nice rainy Sunday and really enjoyed myself. Not so much when I found out the line I was waiting in was to get earphones for an audio tour and they didn't have them in english, but the exhibit I did like. I went on the last day of the engravings exhibit too, which took up the downstairs floor, not sure what's there now. And I'll be back for Van Gogh in December.

Monet was good, but I thought that the Musee d'Orsay exhibit was better.

Where are they being held? At the same place the Picasso exhibit was last year? That place sucked so hard I wouldn't go back, simply because of the museum itself.

My wife, daughter and I went to the Monet exhibition yesterday. It's billed as the largest Monet show outside France. I liked the way it was divided into 5 different categories- Gardens, Portraits, Seascapes, Travels, and of course, Water Lilies. Not a diffinitive show of water lilies, but they had 3 or 4 really nice ones. None of the huge, mural type ones, though. The 10,000 won ticket price was fair. If you are into Monet, you'll get your fix.

I'd recommend checking out the Monet exhibit at Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA). You'd also do yourself a favor by checking out the National Museum of Contemporary Art inside Deoksugung, which is beside SeMA.
