I love taking the bambino to art museums (his first visit was to the Portland Art Museum.) Carrying him, he can be just about eye-to-eye with the art work and we're close enough that I can talk to him about it. Nonna and I recently took him to the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center. The museum is free and parking, underneath the building, is only $2.00 an hour. It is very easy and accessible with a baby (there's an elevator between the three floors, in case you are using a stroller.) I was happy to discover that there is an exhibit with work by and inspired by poets, too.
The exhibit An Opening of the Field: Jess, Robert Duncan, & Their Circle was really interesting and inspiring. The artist Jess Collins and his partner, poet Robert Duncan, collaborated with poets and artists in San Francisco in the early 1950s.
