Fascinating
The Broad is a great art museum that you would really enjoy and have fun. Thanks for your comments!
Excellent! I'm heading to the Broad tomorrow to see the Keith Haring exhibit. I was first introduced to his work when I lived in San Francisco. My boss had a ticket to his exhibit at the DeYoung museum that he couldn't use, so he gave it to me. I was mesmerized! And I recognized his work -- there's a tryptych in the AIDS chapel at Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill that is a Keith Haring piece. I had admired the work, but had no idea who had done it. So I'm really excited to see his show at the Broad.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure you enjoyed your visit to the Broad, and the Keith Haring exhibit really shows what an amazing artist and person he was. We appreciate your comments!
@@destinationtemptation6741 I loved the Haring exhibit! But I thought the museum was open till 6, & it wasn't - it was only open til 5. I was still looking at the Haring exhibit when the security guards came up to me & said, "Ma'am, we're closed. You have to leave now." Haha! I didn't get to see anything else!!! Well, I did go to the infinity mirror room, but they limit you to 1 minute. Anyway, I have to go back to see the rest of it!! Have a good day!
@@JasmineApple The Haring exhibit is worth the price of admission. Since the Broad is free you can look forward to your next visit. Enjoy!
