Favorite that I've been to was probably the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest. Huge collection, and you can't beat the location.
God, I feel so Bohemian.
Ha. Good one.

I sure will. Musee d'Orsay is my favorite so far. Aside from the Degas and Picasso, it was fantastic. The "Musee" is an old train station. It has gorgeous architecture. The featured exhibit was Jean-Léon Gérôme. It was outstanding. I'm not well versed in art (my wife is) but I found this to be exceptional.Grizalltheway wrote:It's worth the trip if you can swing it, Budapest is a beautiful city.Ibanez wrote: yeah?

I look forward to visiting the great catholic basilicas.
When I was pup, my parents were struggling to keep me in the faith and make sure I attended mass. I struck a deal with them that would allow me and my high school girlfriend to attend mass at the church of our choice. We made the rounds of all the great churches in Chicago, many in the very catholic Polish and Lithuanian neighborhoods. What beautiful buildings and art meant to awe and inspire. Massed were done in native tongue too. IMO, there are few Catholics that rival the Polish and Lithuanians in strength of faith and love for the church.
Those areas never id'd anyone at the bars. We end up at a smokey old tavern and drinks thousands of Budweisers, get high in the alley, and listen to old men tell war stories.
Ha. Good one.

Geromes art inspired many scenes in the famous Ben-Hur film. Look him up, many incredible pieces.Grizalltheway wrote:Bad ass.Ibanez wrote:

Prayers come true all the time, take the lottery for example, several lotto players have their prayers answered every week.
The one caveat however is that you do have to have a ticket to win.
What is so hard to understand about that?

That's it. You really have to visit this when you are in Asheville. Asheville is a place I could definetly retire to.AshevilleApp wrote:Ibanez wrote: I visited many in Germany and France and to this day am amazed at those beauty.

It's about a block away from where I live.
