What are those "12 days of Christmas" which my true love gifted so generously? From Christmas Day through Epiphany Eve (December 25th through January 6th), the holiday season rolls along. And with it, the throngs of museum audiences who squeeze in the last days of Fall's fabulous shows.
Here are my 12 suggestions for Fall 2013:
Wednesday, December 25 - The Jewish Museum: "Chagall: Love, War, Exile" through February 2; Art Spiegelman through March 23 (btw - the Spiegelman is demanding. I recommend 2 visits at least.)
(New York Arts Exchange tour of Chagall on Thursday, January 9th, 1 - 3 pm, details below.)
Thursday, December 26 - The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Julia Margaret Cameron, international textiles and Hildesheim treasures through January 5
