Have you visited the San Jose Museum of Art? It’s a small museum located in the heart of downtown San Jose. If you haven’t visited it yet, it’s an easy, roughly one hour visit you can fit into the day with another activity or a delicious meal.

We combined our visit to the museum with a yummy brunch at Whispers Cafe & Creperie located at 150 S Second Street in downtown San Jose. It’s a short walk to the museum and offers the best crepes in the area.

I enjoyed the Tetrazzini Crepe which is pictured above. It combines chicken, mozzarella, onions, olives, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes with pesto on top. It was absolutely delicious! Definitely my favorite menu item!

After brunch, we walked over to the San Jose Museum of Art and enjoyed the permanent collection as well as the visiting collections.

It was relaxing to enjoy local and global artwork in downtown San Jose. The visiting collections switch over every few months. There will be new art next month! It will be fun to go back when the new visiting collections are on display.

Pro tip: park in one of the city parking lots, not a hotel. Although the hotels are closer, the city lots are much less expensive.

Andy Warhol museum

I am a huge Andy Warhol fan. So, when I was in Pittsburgh, it was only natural that the Andy Warhol museum was must-see on my list!

The museum has six stories of fabulous art and history surrounding Warhol. I loved seeing his early art all the way through to his films. It was also fun seeing his personal belongings, his collection of Fiesta (yes! he had Fiesta plates etc.), autographed items from celebrities, commercial art, artists who were inspired by him, photo with the pope, and more!

I didn’t want to post too many pictures of his pieces here on the blog because I think it is much more interesting in person. His transition into film is extremely interesting too. I highly recommend going to the Andy Warhol museum in person. It is amazing and you won’t regret it!

You can learn more about the museum at Warhol.org. I highly recommend visiting!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more from Pennsylvania on the blog!

SFO Museum Rosie the Riveter

 in Events / General Fashion / Travel  tagged art / lifestyle / sfo museum by

The SFO Museum always has amazing exhibitions within the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The current exhibit in terminal 1 is Rosie the Riveter, and it is a must see!

As you know, women took over the jobs previously held by men during World War II. This not only helped our country during the war effort, it proved that women can do the same work as men. Love that!

This exhibit shows the work Rosie the Riveter accomplished during the war as well as what they wore and artifacts from the era. It is a nice history lesson to take in while waiting for your flight in terminal 1.

So, if you are flying from terminal 1 anytime soon, check it out! Or, if you are going through a different terminal, arrive at the airport early so you can walk over to terminal 1 and enjoy this important exhibit.

In addition to Rosie the Riveter, there are several other exhibits which are equally enjoyable throughout SFO. Check out SFOMuseum.org and plan your next visit!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your holiday travels!
