Palm Springs Art Museum

Pat Haptonstall Buccaroo Sage Country CowboyYesterday and today I have been busy at the Palm Springs Art Museum taking photos and preparing for an article. Not only is there a wide variety of important works but the viewing experience is quite refreshing, light, open and comfortable. Each gallery enticed me into the next. A big thanks to Bob Bogard, Director of Marketing Communications, for a delightful and informative tour.

I also met the owners, Jesse Gottlieb and Jay Sherman and their assistant Jim Lopez of the Muse Cafe. It is obvious they love what they do. The patrons I spoke with are as enthralled with the cafe as they are to the museum.

When I went out to the Buchard Sculpture Garden I met two fun and interesting women, Ann Reeves and her friend from France, Elizabeth Florent-Treacy.

My next trip to the Palm Springs Art Museum will be to see the MacMillan Collection.  I got a sneak peak – can’t wait! Opens September 5th, 2009. And I plan a lunch at the Muse Cafe.
