Art Museums . Bio . Cleveland . Uncategorized Article

A professional from Guadalajara visiting Cleveland for the first time was enthusing about the city’s many attractions, especially the art museum. “It’s magnificent–world class,” she exclaimed! “The Rubens, the Velasquez, the Goya…,”  she rattled-off several more masterpieces she’d seen. “I know,” I nodded, “I visit the museum every week.” “Every week?
