I might end up here. (No tickets required, but arrival time requested.)

I'm not sure when the offline is, but either Friday and or Saturday night, the Peninsula has an amazing chocolate bar.

For those interested, the Edward Hopper exhibit is in town at the Art Institute. I saw this in DC and enjoyed it. It is a timed/ticketed show, however. Just a thought.

My wife and I are going on Saturday, though more to see the Winslow Homer exhibit, as she is a big fan of Homer. I have a feeling that most of my day will be spent there since the last two major museums that we have gone to (The Met and the Uffizi) have been close to all day affairs.

At least you'd be hard pressed to pick two better museums to spend all day in (except maybe the Louvre, which takes longer)

Lets not forget the Tate now.

As soon as I hit 'post', I thought "hmmmm. That could start something."

Certainly, the Tate is a Great one.

Also:
Gallerie dell'Accademia (Venice,IT)
Alte Pinakothek (Munich,De)
Musee d'Orsay (Paris,Fr)
Pitti Palace (Florence, IT)

All ones I've attended, that 'moved me'.

Nice list, and I know it takes a lot to move you!

Off to dinner and to drink something special with friends.

Will write more soon.

My wife and I loved the Prado in Madrid.
