  2. Classic Works With a Modern Commentary at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich

    Kathleen Gilje was trained as an art restorer, and she began her career working on the national collections at the Capodimonte Museum in Naples. In her exhibit <em>Revised and Restored</em> which is currently open at the Bruce Museum, she used her skills to reconfigure some classic works with a modern commentary, inserting anachronistic details into them and making them contemporary. It's a technically-skilled achievement, and the final product is strangely juxtaposed, satirically-charged and often kind of funny. But the message contained within each piece, be it political, economic or women's rights oriented, is often quite serious. <strong></strong>

  4. Witty Exhibit Re-Envisions Legendary Works

    In 1989, art restorer Kathleen Gilje was working with El Greco's legendary painting &quot;Fable" and decided one day to paint her own version. The man who hired her to restore it saw her uncanny copy and said "If I don't sue you, then I'll buy it."

  8. The Lure of the Ocean at The Bruce Museum in Greenwich

  9. An Eggs-hibition at The Bruce Museum in Greenwich

    Eggs are pretty incredible. And edible, as per the advertising slogan that dates back to the late '70s. The current exhibit at the Bruce Museum, <em>Egg-hibition: Unscrambling Their History</em>, takes a look at every aspect of the egg, be it related to food, art, fairy tale fodder or pharmacology. They're crazy, beautiful things when you really think about it. The exhibit will also seek answers to the age old question, &quot;Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

  11. Our Picks

    Artist James Grashow spent four years building a giant cardboard fountain. His goal? To put it outside and let it dissolve. A documentary called <em>The Cardboard Bernini</em> was made about the project, and it examines the idea of the tenuous balance between creation and loss, and life's fragility in general. Director Olympia Stone and James Grashow himself will be on hand for a VIP reception. <strong></strong>

  12. Our Pick: Paleontologist Lowell Dingus Talks About Dinosaurs at the Bruce Museum

    Paleontologist Lowell Dingus will stop by the Bruce Museum Thursday night to discuss the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs, explaining the major extinction hypothesizes including meteor impact, volcanism and mammals eating their eggs. But he'll also pose the question as to whether or not dinosaurs are really extinct. This is the first lecture in a series of three by leading paleontologists who will talk about the evolution of dinosaurs and the connections they seem to have with birds (hint, hint). <strong></strong>
