Part 1 of my friend Meredith's wedding took place at the Holy Cross-Immaculata Church in Mt. Adams. For her reception, we scooted over to Eden Park to visit the Cincinnati Art Museum.According to the ol' Wikipedia, ours is one of the oldest art museums in the US. I did not know that.
Meredith's cocktail hour took place in a little courtyard within the museum grounds... which, with the falling dusk, was incredibly pretty.
Meredith made her rounds with a huge smile and a glass of white wine. As it grew darker there were candles and lanterns lit. Picturesque.Ultimately we were ushered inside of the museum proper for the reception dinner. This picture doesn't really capture how beautiful the setup was, with the tall museum staircase and all the marble work. Everything looked sophisticated and... well, very Meredith.
I'll have to re-visit the art museum to give it a proper review; none of the exhibits were open, though Dan and I half hoped they'd let us mill around in there. This museum is one of the places in Cincinnati that I do visit about once a year, so I'm sure we'll be back in no time.Cincinnati Art Museum website: http://www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org/
By the way: the Cincinnati Art Museum is free every day. Even the special exhibits, which is a recent development. No excuses not to check it out.

Thanks for letting me know about the free special exhibits! This is definitely news to me as I haven't been around till recently. I think we're going to try to head down this weekend because we can find $4 for parking and there are some exhibits I'm interested in seeing.
Thanks for the tip!
No problem. I need to head back up there myself. It's been too long.
