I love art museums. I instantly feel calm as soon as I walk into an art museum. It's church and a feast for the eyes. I'm especially drawn to exhibits about food. Food focused exhibits seem to be popping up everywhere. I heard a podcast recently about a woman who was inspired to go to pastry school after falling in love with the art of Wayne Thiebaud. I love to paint and hope to make some acrylic paintings of Thiebaud's work.
A few years ago I was visiting Chicago with my Parisian friend Alice Jehan. It was a shopping and eating trip but we made time to go to the Art Institute of Chicago. We were there the weekend before the Art and Appetite exhibit opened and I was heartbroken. The gift store already had the art book for sale so I bought it as consolation. It's a beautiful book.

I love this New Yorker cover. How often do we go out for fast food in spite of owning every fancy kitchen gadget known to mankind?
These Arcimboldo sculptures were at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City summer 2015.
I recently listened to a Food Seen podcast about The Modern Art Cookbook: Recipes and Food-Inspired Treasures from the Twentieth Century’s Greatest Creative Icons and I hope to buy it soon! Cooking the recipes of the world's most famous artists sounds like a great summer project.
