The Bruce Museum
|
Greenwich’s Bruce Museum of Arts and Science continues to feature outstanding art as well as scientific topics. The summer 2007 show is Fakes and Forgeries: The Art of Deception, presenting more than 50 examples of fakes of Western painting and sculpture from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Baroque periods to modern and contemporary eras. The show reveals the techniques of the world’s most successful forgers and the lengths to which they went to fool the experts. Fakes will close Sept. 2. Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove: Themes and Symbolism in the Decorative Arts of China will be on display June 23-Sept. 9. Coming in July is A Taste for Chocolate, which will explore the changing scientific and historic role that chocolate has played over the centuries. It will run through Feb. 24. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and students, and free for those under 5 and free for all on Tuesdays. The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays 10-5; Sundays 1-5; closed Mondays and major holidays.
