Souvenirs of Venice

Saturdays, October 17, 2009 - January 9, 2010, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Museum of Art Searing Wing

Did you know that the detailed view paintings of Venice called vedute, in the exhibition Venice in the Age of Canaletto were thought of as souvenirs or postcards by wealthy tourists in the 1700's?  Join us in the Family Discovery Gallery of the exhibition where you can create your own vedute, construct a gondola, and design a Venetian palazzo like John and Mable Ringling's Ca d'Zan.
