The Age of Ruben visits Toledo
| 
Feb 5 22:16 UTC 1994 |
Has anyone attended "The Age of Rubens" being shown at the Toledo
Museum of Art?
From the information I recieved via ch 11, Toledo is the only city
besides Boston to host this showing of Peter Paul Rubens works. I saw
a few on the tube, and they are very stunning, and quite worth the 7.95
admission price.
I should also mention that there will be a one hour show called
"A guide to the age of Rubens" on WGTE ch 30 on Friday Feb 11, at 10:00
pm.
I would be willing to organize a grexpedition to this showing, if there
is enough interest.

I'm not sure, but I would guess it's probably going to be a year or so.
If I get more info I'll post it here.

I find it utterly ironic that the Toledo Museum escorted a woman out of
a room displaying nudes to a private area because she was nursing her
child. She and the child were covered by a shawl, but she was told that
public nursing was unacceptable.
Sheesh. Until I heard about that I was reallt interested in seeing the
Reubens showing -- but pay $8 to the TMA? I dunno.

I believe it was one guard that caused this incident. He has been
advised of how to handle it in the future. The museum has publicly
apologized to the woman.
