Well, weather caused us to change our plan to go north on the return to SLC. So we retraced the trip I'd made about a month ago and visited with friends the past two days, but I had to somehow work in some Frank Lloyd Wright time. So, I found a museum in Denver, Colorado that showcases some FLW works.
We visited the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Arts. I had so much fun seeing pieces of furniture and art; in person; of the many designers I had learned about in school. I sat in a FLW chair and the windows were his designs too! I was sad to see that I had by 3 days missed the Eero Saarinen exhibit. Saarinen is said to have been the most prolific architect of the 20th century. He designed some of the most iconic buildings of his time before the age of 50. He designed the St. Louis Gateway Arch, which is where we were day before yesterday.
Looking forward to getting home for a little while, but am loving the traveling and exploring all of the history and beauty in our wonderful country! I am not on my own computer so I will post photos later, but check out the websites I've linked here. If you are a lover of art and design, you'd love a visit to these places!!
