{photo diary} Jean Paul Gaultier at de Young Museum

When I realized I was going to be in SF while the de Young Museum had their Gaultier exhibit opened, I immediately put it to the top of my list.  One of the best things was that they really made sure to not allow a massive amount of people in all at once so everyone was able to get detailed views of each magnificent piece.  

As soon as you walk in, you realize you are experiencing something really unique - each mannequin had a video projection of individual faces blinking, singing + looking right at you.  A little creepy at first, but man, did it make an impression + suck you right in!

I really loved everything.  Each era, collection + detail was seriously beautiful, so much so if I were allowed to sleep on the floor and just 'live it' for a day or two I absolutely would have.

hands down my favorite look in the exhibit...

I went to the MoMA and...

The MoMA has a really great new advertising campaign featuring what people see at the museum.  Usually a company would only show the positive feedback, but they couldn't pass up sharing this 'review' from Annabelle on their Facebook page- she is not impressed with the MoMA as a Museum!

Google's "Art Project"

Google just launched their "Art Project" showcasing masterpieces from 17 acclaimed art galleries from around the world, including The Frick Collection in NYC, the National Gallery in London & the Palace of Versailles.  With this, you have the ability to zoom so close into the artwork that you can see brush strokes & texture of the canvas.  I'm in awe... this is truly breathtaking!!
