Japanese Prints at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts


The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (FMFA) in Richmond, Virginia is one of our favorite places to visit. The Dale Chihuly art glass exhibit is currently being featured and is a display that you will want to see.

During a recent visit to the museum, we spent some time looking at the Japanese print section.  These photographs, taken by Dolores Kelley, will provide a sample of what you might see in that section of VMFA.

Include your favorite museums in your wintertime travel plans.

Roy,

These are magnificent.  Our former LA neighbors has a collection of these, that they had bought in Japan way back when.  They were so beautiful and inspired the wife who was a great artist.  A

Very interesting looking art, Roy!  The colors are unusual to most pictures I've seen, and add to the attraction.  I hope you had a great weekend, and are looking forward to Thanksgiving!
