Let's not be premature - we haven't checked with everyone on SCI yet.

Same place as the last half dozen. (Take care how you criticise it -
we don't want the SCI-con disrupted by a fatwa.
The National Gallery is to get all of Boston's French Impressionist
landscapes for a few months next year. Tickets are to be pre-booked.

To celebrate the opening of the Millennium Wing in January, the National
Gallery of Ireland will host the country's first major Impressionist
exhibition 'Monet, Renoir and the Impressionist Landscape' in the new
purpose-built suite of galleries designed to accommodate international
shows.
Visitors to the exhibition will have a tremendous opportunity to see
together some 70 masterpieces, which are drawn from the great collection of
the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston. The MFA, Boston has one of the richest
collections of nineteenth-century French painting in the United States. The
exhibition traces the origins of Impressionism in the art of Camille Corot
and the Barbizon School and extends as far as the Post-Impressionist
landscapes of Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. The concluding section
examines the profound legacy of the Impressionists on the following
generation of landscape painters such as Cézanne, Gauguin and Signac.
Of the Impressionists, Claude Monet is shown at the height of his powers, as
are Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro. There are 13 works by Monet,
which includes paintings from his early period such as Rue de la Bavolle,
Honfleur (1864), and Camille Monet and a Child in the artist's garden in
Argenteuil, (1875). Other master works by the artist include his Grainstack
(sunset), one of a series of 25 painted between 1890-1891.
The Millennium Wing of the Gallery, which is designed by the award winning
architects, Benson & Forsyth, will provide visitors with a spacious entrance
at Clare Street, Dublin 2. In addition to its two large suite of galleries,
the building will also incorporate a Centre for the Study of Irish art, a
Yeats Archive, a Multimedia Facility, and an Audio Visual room. Visitor
facilities will also include two Restaurants, and a spacious Shop, which
will showcase the best of visual art merchandise and books on art.
There is a restaurant, so I won't need to eat peanuts and pringles.

April is inded a beautiful month to visit. I'm looking forward to visiting
the Millenium Wing when it opens. I've always had a grá for the National
Gallery.They used to do a late evening every Thursday back in the late 70's/
early 80's, where you could have your tea in the gallery restaurant and have
Homan Potterton or James White give a talk on picture of the week. I don't
know if they still do it. It was a "different" sort of place to bring a date
of a Thursday evening back then.
Come in April, when the cherry and apple blossoms are in full bloom,the air
is fresh, the buds are budding,and life is optimistic. We may even have an
SCI con in your honour.

I think May is a better month, simply because the vegetation is a bit more
developed. There is nothing as luxuriant and exuberant as Spring in
Ireland.
The National Gallery is a fabulous place. I am glad of the refurbishments
of the last few years, which have resulted in some of the rooms being
"lightened up", i.e. fewer paintings on the walls, making for more relaxed
viewing. But even in the olden days of crowded walls, you could spend hours
in the place, and be back several times in the same month, and still find
new things you had not noticed before.
There are lots of little wonderful treats in Dublin, such as all the (free)
museums, and the summertime Tuesday lunchtime concerts in the NCH - for
under a fiver...

found a cheap flight for mid-March. It may be a bit blustery yet,

Balbriggan, National Museum at Collins Barracks, Kilmainham Jail, The Modern
Art Gallery, the park in Merrion Square opposite the National Gallery, a
walk around Dalkey village,etc etc
There is so much free things to do and see if you want to and just look

Trouble with May is that the Impressionists will have departed home to
Boston. I think that they finish mid-April, but I don't have a date.
The Natural History museum is worth seeing as a meta-museum, giving a
view of what museums used to be like before interactive exhibits. A
kind of total opposite to the Millenium Dome.
BTW, I meant the Art Gallery in O'Neills.

Especially the Big Black Blob in the mammal area... it is useful to read the

And they don't *make* that sort of dust any more.
I spent a rather interesting day there with two of my nephews some years

Well, I knew what you meant, but thank goodness Sage didn't as
that allowed him to alert me to the Impressionists. You are also
correct in that the exhibit leaves on April 14. I'm okay with the
mid-March thing though. I'll meet you in whatever art gallery
you choose, dahlink.

The conversation is not bollix! My conversational skills are first class as
is my ability to avoid you killing me with your car on the Tallaght by-pass.
BTW your mobile called me the other night. I think you hit the autodial somehow
by accident. All I could hear was some farmers voice in the background saying
something like. ‘Sure you’re a fine looking woman altogether…’ Then this
was followed by the sound of straw rustling, followed by your unmistakable
French accent saying. ‘no it’s all right Finbarr, you can leave your wellies
on…I like that…’ then I got a few text messages and then the line went dead.

Hmmm??? Unki, me dear, I directly made sure that you were
invited (muc savage that you may be)as no trip to dear ol' Dub
would be complete without the triad...a visit to ye ould fish n
chips shoppe, a ride on the Viking Splash tour and sitting on
Unki's lap. If that all means I have to miss the Impressionists
then so be it. After all, that's just a mess of moldy old
paintings anyway. I'd much prefer fresh Unki on the hoof.
