Re: Alt collections in Europe



Thanks for the info, Ding & al!

September 7 will be too soon, we are talking about more like late fall - early spring. But Paris will definitely be a place to visit, and musée d'Orsay is beautiful - last time I was there (1999 I believe) they had a magnificent van Gogh exhibition...

But, we'd love also to expand our visit from temporary ongoing shows to "hidden", more or less permanent collections. In that sense Société française de photographie, suggested by Chris, sounds great.

I'm asking this info because we need to make a travel plan very soon to get it accepted in the budget. I think a round trip to London to Paris to some place (or two) in continental Europe would be the most realistic to execute.

Before that, a colleague of mine, Pirkko, will be staying in Rome (in late october if I'm remembering correctly), and we'd also appreciate your advice on places to visit there.

Thank you
- Jalo
