Paintings in Provo

At the BYU Museum of Art there is a special exhibit.  It started on November 15, 2013, and will run until May 10, 2014.  It is called Sacred Gifts, and is a collection of art from Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz.

So yesterday I went to this exhibit with some of my family.  It was very nice and I had seen several of the paintings in reprints.  There was one painting that I had never seen before and it was beautiful.  It may be my new favorite!

 One of my nieces walked around with me and it was a lot of fun to spend time with her!  If you have an iPad, not an iPod or iPhone, you can download an app that has more information about each painting that was brought for this exhibit.
