what happened to the Cleveland Museum of Art....beats the SF stuff hands down - and it's FREE.
Just saw the Metropolitan Museum and thought it was one of the most outstanding programs ever. We need many more shows like this one!
Not even the Louvre... no way!
I hope you'll consider making a recommendation for my Fabulous Places contest. The details are here

Certainly a good and useful list. I'm marking it so I can find it again easily. Thanks!
Hello Jack,
That's a good list. I don't know if it's one of the greatest, but since I am from Los Angeles, I have to mention the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (http://www.lacma.org/).
They have a very nice Magritte exhibit going on right now.
