The Provincial Museum

I am glad I met Claire and hiked with her. She suggested going to the museum here. I had never been as I do not know how to get tickets. They do have a free section but recently had European artists featured. A ticket needed to be bought which she did for me as I could but register in advance. Their system does not take passport numbers, only Chinese ID. She called and found that I could register when I arrive.

There was quite the line to get in as it was the last day of the exhibition.

The artists in the exhibition ranged from the start of the Renaissance through to Impressionism. There were quite a variety of styles and artists on loan from the St. Louis museum.

There were plenty of places to take selfies. I generally do not take advantage of those.

There was however only one Renoir, Rembrandt, and Monet.

Rembrandt’s self portrait. Raw and honest, the shading and artistry is astounding.
Little girl in a hat by Renoir.
Monet.

Some of the art that I was drawn to:

The only painting in the exhibition by a female artist.

Afterwards we went to find something to drink. Did to covid-19 you could not but refreshments there and wearing a mask is tiring and hot. I have wanted to try the tofu drink and with Claire’s help knew what I was ordering. It is nice to ask them not to put sugar in it. It was good like a rich milkshake. On to are 3 rice rolls on a long toothpick.
