Today, RQS and I had an errand to run before the day's end - she needed to go to a jewelry store to have a link added to her watch band. So I had an idea: If we got out of the house early enough, we could go to the Magazzino Italian Art Museum in Cold Spring, NY.
When I first saw this museum on the side of the road, I thought it was a warehouse for the sale of Italian art. Well, I was partially right. From what I was told, the Italian word "Magazzino" translates to the English word "Warehouse". So I can say that I was half right. Once I found out that this was a museum, I figured that I'd visit it when I had an opportunity. Today was that opportunity.
Both RQS and I got dressed and out of the house by 2:45 pm. By 3:30 pm, we were at the museum. And this is where we got exposed to Contemporary Italian Art. Much of it was not my taste. But some of it captured both RQS's and my interests. (You might see my reflection in one of the artworks above.) If you get the chance to visit this place, do so! Not only is the art interesting. But the grounds are beautiful too. Both of us took lots of photos inside and outside the museum, and we might just go back in the fall to enjoy the grounds and some upcoming exhibits.
Once done with the museum, we drove into Cold Spring proper and had some ice cream before driving home. After dinner, we went out again for a walk. I had changed into my black exercise dress, and got compliments from both RQS and one of my neighbors. (That was a nice way to end this day!)
