I know all of you would rather be living in Philadelphia. Who wouldn't, after all? And particularly now amid the late-winter/spring arts season, highlighted by, among other things, "Degas and the Dance," a major exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (through May 11).
I haven't been yet, so I can't offer my personal opinion, but the reviews, both here in Philadelphia and in Detroit, where the exhibit previously appeared at the Detroit Institute of Arts, have been terrific.
Okay, so you can't make it Philadelphia. Then let Philadelphia, or at least the Philadelphia Museum, or at the very least the Degas exhibit, come to you.
The museum has produced a top-notch online exhibition of "Degas and the Dance" that includes first-rate reproductions (taking into consideration the limitations of the medium) and an audio tour.
It's one of the best online exhibits I've ever seen, a testament to the power and value of the web. I wish more museums did this.
