The Flint Institute of Arts is a real gem! And it continues to get better each year. Their permanent collection is wonderful with a great cross-section of time periods, media, and subject matter, enhanced with the recent opening of their superb glass galleries. I also love the local connections to the works, whether by artist or subject matter or donor. On top of that, they bring in some top-notch exhibitions to share. I visit a couple times a year, driving up to Flint to see the FIA's exhibits of works by Rodin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Remington & Russell as well as Japanese prints, glass, and others. On this latest visit, I wanted to see the Visions of American Life: Paintings from the Manoogian Collection, 1850–1940. My friend had never been to the FIA before and just totally loved it all!! Keep an eye on their website for the exhibitions and events details!

Our Ladies' Group decided to visit Whaley House Museum for our Christmas outing. What a good decision! Although we are all local people none of even knew of this gem on our doorstep. It is beautifully preserved and as it was Christmas it was made even more beautiful by the tasteful decorations in each room. Davina,our tour guide, obviously has a passion for her subject and treated us to an informative and entertaining introduction to this lovely old home. We would all happily recommend a visit to Whaley House.
