DC / Richmond / Chapel Hill

It was Spring Break at the University of Georgia last week, yet I got the opportunity to travel for work. The itinerary? The Federal District of Columbia, including the monuments and museums; Richmond, Virginia; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

The reason? To view two private collections in DC, to conduct some (last minute collection catalogue) research at the Archives of American Art and the Library of Congress, to see the works in an artist's estate in Richmond, and to view another private collection in Chapel Hill.


Below are some images from the trip to DC with a focus on the National Museum of the American Indian (with a private tour by Jennifer Miller, exhibition manager, and Rebecca Troutman, curatorial research assistant), Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Library of Congress, and our National Gallery of Art:



The boss and I also stopped at the Gari Melchers Home and Studio, and got a wonderful, quick tour from Joanna Catron, curator, but I was camera-less at the time.
