day 1 at museo fortuny
so this is what researching looks like…
because i’m not allowed to take pictures of the cool stuff. but they did say they could provide pictures for me of some things i’ll write about in my 4th chapter, and the head of archives told me that no one had written on these pieces before (an art historian’s dream) or exhibited them. i also met a co-curator at the museum who was very helpful, friendly, and interesting.
the museum is in the middle of being closed for 2 months, so the atmosphere is a bit strange with lots of construction and staff busy working on the next show. but with it being closed to the public, i was given privileged access to pieces i’m writing on in my 3rd chapter.
tomorrow i go back for more notebooks and a painting.
and from this evening’s trip to the grocery store- here’s more proof that venetian ladies love their fur.
