Always love visiting the Walker. And this visit was made even better with the Frida Kahlo exhibition. I was so impressed that I'm making a special trip in January (from my warm home in Hawaii) to see it again! Brrrrr. Aloha! |
| Jan 19 |
Before I visited the works of Frido Kahlo at the Walker Art Center in mid-January, I had only heard about her works and life in little pieces here and there. Seeing the diverse types of work, each so detailed, along with the biographical photos, helped complete a "picture" of Frida's epic life. The personal events and the larger concerns of her times bear a very real resemblance to today. I felt like I got know her as a person, and could understand what she wrote, said, and did, along with what she painted. |

We attended the Frida Kahlo exhibit. Since she is my all-time favorite artist, we were excited to see her work in-person, especially never-before seen pieces.
Overall - exquisite. Her work is amazing in person; having the small room with all the various photos of her private life (i.e. friends, family, colleagues) - an added bonus. Renting the info headsets (never used one before; a patron we asked strongly suggested renting them) was helpful to learn more about the selected pieces highlighted on it.
This Museum Adventure Pass program is a great offering; I've been telling many folks who normally don't 'do' museums or galleries (whether due to income challenges or knowledge/experience in the arts) to use this program as a way to explore all we have to offer here in the Twin Cities. Thank you. Here's to you continuing this most important and needed program. |

We saw the Frida Kahlo exhibit and it was so great! The exhibit included personal photos of Frida and gave amazing insight into the life of this fascinating artist. |

Went to the Frida Kahlo exhibit. Very enjoyable |

Due to a recent divorce, I found myself with a significantly lower income. So when my friend invited me to join her and her husband to the Walker Art Museum to see the exhibit on Frida Kahlo, I had to decline. Although the day my friend wanted to visit, my soon to be ex-husband was to have our 2 year old son. So, this would have been a perfect opportunity to enjoy culture undisturbed and with upbuilding association. When I informed my friend I may not be able to afford it, she gave me the museum adventure pass information. So, off to the library I went and was handed my pass. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. And, I learned so much about Frida Kahlo. I have to admit my knowledge of her was very limited. But, to see her art helped me to appreciate my position in life at this moment did not have an ounce of the pain she lived. Her pain and skills were displayed in such a memorable way at the Walker Art Museum. Thank you so much for the chance to have a cultural adventure. |
