The one reason why I wanted to go? John Singer Sargent's portrait of Dr. Pozzi at home. I had read about in Strapless, and become fascinated. For sure, the painting did not disappoint.
Other favorites were Van Gogh's Hospital at Saint-Remy (of course), Gustave Moreau's Salome Dancing before Herod, and Honore Daumier's series of bronze caricature busts of famous Frenchmen (the clay originals are in the Musee d'Orsay).
The museum itself was a lovely surprise, too. They have so many changing exhibits, and there's also this beautiful open-air atrium in the middle of the museum, too. Only in Southern California, right? Seriously though, Westwood is a really nice area. Even for my standards. We even stopped by a Yogurtland before we went back. I personally think Yogurtland is better than the Yozen Frogurt place we go to at home. They had the cutest Hello Kitty spoons, too!
