So the art area in Beijing is called 798, ross and i made our way here this typically muggy and overcast afternoon. The art is surprisingly good here, there's lame stuff like any other art scene anywhere but i can't wait to see more soon :)
Of course i didn't bring my camera with me today, so instead i'm posting pictures from other museum things we did in the city these last few weeks. The National Museum of Fine Arts has this pretty neat show running, a "greatest hits" of sorts of the Prado Museum in Madrid including El Greco, Poussin, Goya, and Velazquez.
Also in the Capital Museum there's a nice but very crudely put together show from the Louvre's Ancient Greek collections. Notice how close you can get to the marble portraits of Alexander the Great, Homer, and other important works
