We traveled downtown again, this time to see the Art Museum and to catch the new James Bond film. There are actually two art museums: The Queensland Art Gallery, which contains art created before 1979 and the Gallery of Modern Art which showcases art produced after that date. We did the old stuff this time and only had time for a brief strafing run through the modern art museum. We’ll do a more thorough viewing on our next trip.
Most of the museum was quite good with a mix of Australian art and world masters. Apart from one exhibit that featured the work of a contemporary Brisbane artist whose work reminded us of a kindergarten class project, we enjoyed the museum very much. We ate lunch at the gallery café and had some of the best calamari we’ve ever had.
James Bond did not disappoint. He mostly just chased people, beat them up, ran them off the road, shot them, and threw them off of buildings. And of course there were explosions. Good, wholesome entertainment.
The dogs keep an eye on us when we are upstairs.
