Monet to Dali, Billie Goat to Cleveland

On Saturday, I visited the Vancouver Art Gallery exhibit, Monet to Dali, for the second time. A repeat visit indicates how much I liked this exhibition. Monet to Dali is a quick way to get caught up on art history and key pieces of European art. The exhibit includes pieces from Monet, Cézanne, van Gogh, Picasso and Dali to name a few.

My favorite painting in the collection is a landscape by Monet. The most surprising aspect of this exhibit is found on each plaque describing a painting or a sculpture. The description for each piece includes:

Collection of Cleveland Museum of Art

I'm not sure about you, but I have certainly never known that Cleveland has such a rich collection of European works of art. Based on the merits of its Art Museum, I have added Cleveland to my lists of places to visit.
