Two days ago, T and I managed - just in the nick of time - to see the exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum on Monet's Water Lilies. It's a very small exhibition, only a few studies for the crowning work: the Agapanthus triptych. But it's quite impressive to see all three pieces together, and to put it into context of the time that Monet was painting, as well as to realize how it sat unappreciated for 30 years after his death!
Added props to the art museum: the informative sidebars on the walls have big enough font that everyone doesn't have to crowd in to be able to read it - one of my pet peeves about museums! Anyway, the exhibit is only open through the 22nd of this month (three more days), but you should go if you haven't!
