Sacred Legacy

Edward S. Curtis' photo exhibition of the North American Indian is in Taiwan and will visit the National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung 10/27~11/25.

As part of the Shining Taichung Arts Festival, Mayor Hu has arranged for an exhibition of 100 prints and 32 sculptures by Rodin. This will be the only display in Taiwan. It runs from 9/22 - 12/22 at the former Taichung Municipal Office. And yes, The Thinker will be there along with Monument to Balzac and the Age of Bronze. Not that I'm familiar with the last two, but I plan to see them and raise my snootiness by a good 27%. Couple that with seeing Pavarotti's last full-scale public concert in Taichung and my overall snootiness should be in the high 70s. Almost high enough to qualify for Austin citizenship.
