From France 24.

Getting up close and personal with Siena’s cathedral ceiling. Thru October 27th, 2013. A  fabulous alternative to that boring Stairmaster!

In Venice, a Manet exhibition thru August 18th, 2013. I wonder if this is the same exhibition that recently came from the Royal Academy, London. If so, I saw it in a movie theatre a week or so ago, the art world’s answer to NT Live. The only issue with these satellite art shows is the fact that you don’t really get to see all of the exhibit. Still, better than seeing none at all. Not sure I’ll have enough time in Venice to see any museums.
