]]> Arch of Constatine in Rome After my trip to Italy earlier this year, I’ve kept an eye open for any events, exhibits, or news of the country that I fell in love with.  Earlier this spring, the Seattle Art Museum hosted a traveling exhibit of Roman Art from the Louvre. 

Now, it’s the Henry’s turn with Roman Holiday, a series of 19th and 20th century images of famous Roman spots, including the Forum, St Peter’s, and the Castel Sant’Angelo.  I had the opportunity to see many of these historic sites while I was in Rome, so am curious about these earlier photographs.

The exhibition runs through November 30th, 2008.

Location:  University of Washington, 4100 15th Avenue NE, 41st & 15th NE (map it)

Hours:  11am-5 pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday-Sunday.  11 am-8 pm on Thursday.

Admission:  $10 adults, $6 seniors.  Free for UW students and faculty, high school and college students, and children 13 years and under. A tour guide is available for $20/group.  Thursdays are free for everyone (sponsored by The Boeing Company).

If you are interested in how some of these sites look now (or at least a handful of months ago), you can check out the Rome photos in my flickr pool.
