There&#8217;s definitely something creepy and beautiful about seeing ancient works of art perfectly lit for viewing with no one looking<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"225\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396839992.jpg?w=1056\" class=\"wp-image-15205 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396839992.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396839992-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396839992-768x169.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396839992-750x165.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nI couldn&#8217;t see the Aphrodite exhibit but I could visit the rest of the museum. This is probably my favorite room in the new American Wing. It&#8217;s curated to mimic the Paris Salon. Nothing beats the combination of white marble, red walls and gold frames.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396857591.jpg?w=1056\" class=\"wp-image-15206 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396857591.jpg 612w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396857591-179x300.jpg 179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><br \/>\nApologies for the picture quality &#8230; this was taken with my camera a few weeks ago<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396875634.jpg?w=1056\" class=\"wp-image-15207 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396875634.jpg 612w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-1483396875634-179x300.jpg 179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><br \/>\nmmm Chihuly<\/p>\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><style>.relpost-block-single-image, .relpost-post-image { margin-bottom: 10px; }<\/style><h4>random related posts:<\/h4><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 5;--relposth-columns_t: 4; --relposth-columns_m: 4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2018\/02\/23\/fra-angelico\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/20180223_1212011752036886-100x100.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Fra Angelico<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">The Fra Angelico exhibit at the Gardner Museum is ...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">February 23, 2018<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/07\/01\/koch\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/koch-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Koch Gallery<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">\r\n\r\nWe brought a friend to the MFA this morning, a...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">July 1, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2016\/09\/15\/third-thursdays\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/wp-image-1555432329jpg-100x100.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Third Thursdays<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">\r\n\r\n<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">September 15, 2016<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><!-- close relpost-block-container --><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><\/div><!-- close filter class --><\/div><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- Developer mode initialization; Version: ;4.3.3Relation: both; All categories: 1;Found 3 posts;Basic sizes;Got sizes 100x100;Post-thumbnails enabled in theme;Post has thumbnail 16585;Postthname: thumbnail;Using title with size 160.
