The Arts in Grand Rapids

A day trip to Grand Rapids, MI sponsored by the Kresge Art Museum of MSU.

First, to the home of Mary Ann Keeler, who offered refreshments and a tour of her beautiful home and modern art collection. Then to the Grand Rapids Art Museum, just opened in October, 2007, to view the Andrew Warhol exhibit. After lunch at nearby "Leo's" restaurant, the remainder of the day was spent at the Frederik Meijer Gardens for a tour of the Degas sculptures in bronze and a visit to the sculpture park.
