Egon Schiele
The Artists Bedroom in Neulengbach, 1911
This show ends July 2nd. We saw it yesterday (after a lovely lunch at Café Sabarsky) and highly recommend it. It's wonderful to stand in front of paintings of Van Gogh and others in a serene museum setting. My only quibble was the very grouchy bag inspector who barked "you have to check this!" regarding my 12 × 10 x 3 inch bag.

darn. I was there and noticed how rude she was, but then I was preoccupied with my own, larger bag, grateful I wouldn't have to lug it around the galleries. I didn't notice she was talking about your little bag. That's ridiculous. You should have told her it's your man purse.
There's no reason you'd have to give it up if you wanted to carry it.
