Every so often we watch one of the several hoarding related shows and for several days afterward I have panic attacks about the empty box that would be perfect for mailing something or my collection of Blueprint Magazines. What I have realized is that I have been hoarding electronic media, while that box and the stack of magazines are a visual reminder of having too much I forget quickly how many bookmarked web sites, open online accounts and or random digital images of my cats I have.

What does this have to do with art? Well I am not going to part with any of my art books (okay, Who Owns Antiquity will be sold back at the end of class) but I am going to do a few group / mass posts of links that  I have been saving. Once they are posted, goodbye from my bookmark list. Let the cleansing begin with some museums that I some day hope to visit.  This is also not an easy task as I am VERY bad at tagging, which my husband would point out makes it hard to find the bookmark when you are looking for it.

National Museum of Women in the Arts – Washington D.C.

Montreal Museum of Fine Art – Montreal, hopefully I will get a chance to visit in June.

The Hyde Collection – Glens Falls, NY, a small museum but they have an interesting exhibit of book illustration coming up at the end of the year.

Olana – Hudson Valley, the home of Frederic Church.

New Britain Museum of American Art – New Britain, CT, right now there is a pretty cool looking exhibit by Lisa Hoke: The Gravity of Color.

Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art – Hartford, CT, they have a costume and textiles collection that they rotate every two years.

The Walters Art Museum – Baltimore, MD, not a long trip from DC so hopefully this will be an easy one to visit.

High Museum of Art – Atlanta, I would like to get into their Works on Paper study room.

Kykuit – The Rockefeller Estate.

San Francisco Museum of Art – San Francisco, CA, not sure what is actually on display as many items on their site say they are not on display, but the The Steins Collect exhibit looks good.

Tate – I have been to Tate Britain, but there are so many other museums in the Tate collection that I would like to see.

Gemeente Museum – Netherlands, they have several period rooms including a The Gobelin Room which I had never heard of.

Guggenheim Museum – Any and all, I have not had a chance to visit any of their locations.

The Hepworth Wakefield – Wakefield, UK, Not yet open, but in a few months.

The Kreeger Museum – It is so close, no reason to not check it out.

Hill-Stead Museum – Farmington, CT, they have a box collection and a clock collection.

That feels good (true one could argue that all I did was move the bookmarks) I can also delete the Louvre bookmark, don’t think I needed to bookmark to begin with…
