'Dots Obsession—Love Transformed into Dots,' again

The Yayoi Kusama exhibit “Infinity Mirrors” at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden http://hirshhorn.si.edu/kusama/ is the hottest show in Washington this year and is almost impossible to get into. Its six mirrored rooms are fantastical and fascinating, but you have to spend about 30-45 minutes in line waiting to get into each one, after which you are allowed exactly 20 SECONDS to view it along with two other people. The museum staff have stopwatches and throw you out when your time is up. Needless to say, not a good situation for picture taking, but we did what we could under the difficult circumstances.

For anybody interested in learning just how difficult this exhibit is to view, backing up my comment above, this https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2017/03/07/how-to-survive-the-yayoi-kusama-show-at-the-hirshhorn-museum/?utm_term=.0d79fa8ad924 was an excellent article in The Washington Post.

Sorry that I’m behind on commenting and everything else because Tim had outpatient surgery for a kidney stone on Monday, which had some complications, including a night spent at the ER on Tuesday. Now he has to have another procedure tomorrow.
