Dorothea Tanning: Birthday and Beyond

The Museum celebrates the acquisition of Dorthea Tanning's magnificent self-portrait 'Birthday' with a special installation of her work. Painted in 1942, when Tanning was 32-years old, 'Birthday' was acquired from the artist in 1999. The paintings, sculpture, and drawings on display span five decades and explore Tanning's lifelong fascination with the metamorphoses of the human body. 'Birthday' is a central icon of the surrealist era, as well as one of the great self-portraits of the 20th-century.

The great Golf Vacation

There are plenty of places in the USA where you can golfing during your holiday. People who golfing often often plan whole holidays around certain gold courses they might have always needed to play. Depending on the time of the year, you can play in warm places such as Phoenix, Arizona, Hilton Head, South Carolina, and in Vegas, Nevada.

There are loads of courses for you to play on. For many individuals, a golf vacation is a good way to chill, spend a while improving one's game, and the opportunity to see a different part of the country. If you live in an area that's cold in the winter, a relaxing gold holiday in a warmer climate might be what you've been hunting for. When you're not golf, there's much to see.

With over twenty-two gold courses, you may never be bored. Hilton Head is a little island off the coast of South Carolina. It's also home to consequential landmarks like the Palmetto Dunes Plantation and the Pinckney Island State Wildlife Preserve. Vegas offers many activities for you to engage in besides golfing. Staying in one of the casino hostels will give you a good view to everything that's going down in Vegas.

If you'd like to go traveling and golf, visit places that are a long way from home. This may give you a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and enhance your game while seeing the various sites that these cities and towns have to give. Since each course has its own terrain, you'll be able to get experience playing on flat and mountainous surfaces. This is a good experience for anyone that is serious about their golf game.

Patrick McMullan

Budapest's resident Irish musician Patrick McMullan has been drawing crowds in local venues for years with his band, the Irish Rovers of Budapest. McMullan has also cut a solo album, 'Down and Out in Belfast and Budapest'. His music features traditional arrangements of old Irish tunes, as well as his own compositions inspired by Irish folk. While the Rovers sometimes strayed toward a rock sound, McMullan's solo act seems more likely to please folk purists.

Barnum's Kaleidoscape

PT Barnum once said nobody ever went bankrupt underestimating the intelligence of the American people, but the legendary circus owner was also smart enough to know that it takes a lot to impress New Yorkers. His latter-day heirs have prepared a compelling spectacle of clowns, trapeze artists, jugglers, crossbow marksmen and other purveyors of unimaginable thrills. All in a corner of midtown where the big tent is usually reserved for fashion runways - perhaps that's why the circus is promising gourmet snacks.
