museum hours

Museum Hours is a 2012 film. “A Vienna museum guard befriends a visitor, and the two explore their lives, the city and the ways artwork reflects the world.”

While I’ve not seen the film, the words museum hours seems to fit as I travel today to Crystal Bridges museum. Located in northwest Arkansas, it’s an amazing place.

My best traveling friend and I are on a travel lark. We are journeying to see Annie Leibovitz At Work. Leibovitz, a famed photographer, has been in residence at Crystal Bridges for several months. She completes her residency in 6 days. Whew! We made it!

Annie Leibovitz At Work is a new exhibition of portraits.which includes a set of new works made just for Crystal Bridges—Leibovitz’s first museum commission.

Another exhibit I’m looking forward to seeing is Congruence by artist duo HYBYCOZO.

“Congruence is made up of 12 geometric forms. These are all truncated octahedrons, a special type of polyhedron that easily stacks together, leaving no gaps. The artwork includes a tall central structure and three individual shapes, revealing how the pieces fit together.”

Specifically commissioned for this site at Crystal Bridges. the sculpture glows with light,

We shall see.

Traveling mercies.
