We just found out about the new Cindy Sherman Exhibition at the MoMA, and we cannot wait to check it out. Cindy is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential artists in contemporary art and has been taking incredible conceptual self portraits for 30 years. We are so lucky that over 170 of them are showing in NYC. You should definitely stop by this weekend if you are in the area!

A museum for shopping bags and nothing else? Howard and Lee Forman, a husband and wife whose passions for shopping bags lead them to create The Museum of Bags bring us a one-of-kind experience. The museum features 7,000 bags and is intended to “to showcase the bag in all its forms as an icon illustrating the history and culture of society.” Some of the bags even date as far back as 1898.
