the jewish museum
i went to the jewish museum today on a saturday afternoon by myself. it's free on saturdays. they currently have an exhibit titled, chagall and the artists of the russian jewish theater, 1919-1949.
some notes about this museum: they have very mean guards. i saw a guard yell at a 65 year old woman because she had a cell phone in her pocket. then, i took off my coat in the middle of the exhibit since it was very crowded and warm. i was told that i needed to put my coat back on...it was a little extreme.
anyways, the exhibit...overall, i liked it. the title of it could have been more accurate: artists of the russian jewish theater and a little bit of chagall. they had some of the original paintings that chagall did from the theater, but that was about 1 room out of 7 in the exhibit. they had information about each (i am assuming it is every one) performance. overall, the exhibit was a bit crowded and there was a lot of going back and forth across the museum. they had mock set designs, sketches of costumes as well as the original playbills. at the end, they had a summary movie. the room should have been about double the size.
times visited: 2
time in museum: 45 minutes
overall: B
