For Claudia
The Mixed Media series that Claudia's been throwing with Starbucks at the MFAH has been an unbeliveable success. This weekend, they're toning it down a little for a more intimate (but equally cool) experience in conjunction with the Met Show. For those of ya'll who don't know, the entire French Masterpiece collection from the Metropolitan Museum of Art is on display at the MFAH until May 5. The Met is undergoing renovations, and this is the first time that the collection has been displayed together in a modernly lit museum. It's pretty unbelievable, and it's the only place in the United States that the collection will be on view until the collection goes back home.
So Claudia thought it would be appropriate for the Museum to host a salon. Starbucks Presents A Salon Series at the MFAH
