So in a about a month I am planning on taking a small group of students up
to DC where we will explore Ovidian reception...the National Gallery of Art
has some lovely art illustrating episodes from the Metamorphoses (Titian,
Rubens, etc). I wonder if there are other exhibits in that particular
museum where we might find some other treasures too. If you know of any,
please tell (Yeah, I got the Mercury statue and the other statues in that
hall!).

Any ideas about collections with Renaissance or neo-classical art? Maybe a
university art museum? I can't recall the exact details of the Phillips
Collection, but that might be worthwhile for them...also interested in any
old texts with woodcuts (I'm thinking UVa might have something, too, but
that would be a different trip).

Any help would be appreciated. I will do a recon mission before the actual
trip.

And Please do send this off to anyone who might have the knowledge I seek.

Cheers, Janice
