museum

funnies

Expect considerable chuckling in the galleries of the Contemporary Jewish Museum while the current exhibit of New Yorker cartoonish Roz Chast is on display. Her neurotic, hapless characters are perfectly matched with her nervous drawing style. The show runs through September 3 and includes comically on-target insights on the issues of aging. Seniors $12.

game plan

Thinking SFMOMA is the hottest new museum around? Wrong. Over at 3400 Broadway in Oakland you’ll find the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment,ie. themade. Your video game playing teenage grandkids will go bananas over the hundreds of titles they can play here from innocent beginner games to sports to aggressive intergalactic shoot-em-ups. It’s the […]

game highlights

Bay seniors frustrated by this year’s 49ers’ performance can relive better times with a visit to the 20,000 square foot museum dedicated to the team. Like the current 49ers it is inconveniently located in Santa Clara at Levi’s Stadium. But since it is open daily you can time your hegira to avoid the hellish traffic […]

But there was a strong creative and personal bond the two and you can see the evidence for it now thru December 3 at the “Architects of the Imagination” interactive media exhibit at the […]

Typical museum fare – sandwiches and salads and such and up the stairs through Nov.29 a brief show of British Works on Paper including […]

guess where? #1

Bay seniors may think they are hallucinating when they see the transformations in the Tenderloin. Yes, children on their way to school still step around sleeping drunks but, like everywhere in town those trendy techies are taking over. This was once a country village, then a gaudy entertainment center with great Deco-era buildings before it […]

the masters

Bay seniors no longer have to be embarrassed about living in a city without any Rothkos or deKoonings. Our claim to serious art status has been convincingly advanced with the opening of the Anderson Collection at Stanford, housed in a new museum adjacent to the Canter Art Center. The building is unimpressive but the interior […]
