This Weekend. . . Hang Out With Marilyn Monroe & Jimmy Carter
This weekend. . .
. . . get away from the city with a drive to the Columbia River Gorge, home of the Maryhill Museum where you can catch the final days of the Andy Warhol and Other Famous Faces exhibit.
The Maryhill Museum is a castle-like structure on a 6,000 acre site overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, and is home to a collection of art ranging from early 20th century European art to more current Native American art. The setting also includes beautiful gardens and grounds.
Famous Faces features many of the diverse personalities that Warhol captured, and many of the images have become iconic representations of the 60’s – when everyone was famous for 15 minutes. You’ll find portraits of notables, including Marilyn Monroe (in photo), Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, The Beatles, Liza Minnelli, Queen Elizabeth II, and Jimmy Carter. You’ll also see his famous Campbell’s Tomato Soup Can.
Other artists represented in the exhibit include Jasper Johns, Chuck Close, Robert Rauschenberg, and others.
Location: Maryhill Museum Drive in Goldendale, Washington (map it), about a three and half to four hour drive from Seattle.
Hours: Daily from 9 am – 5 pm through November 15th.
Admission: $7 adults, $6 seniors, $2 children ages 6-16. Parking is free.
Also at the museum you’ll find a selection of sculptures and watercolors by Auguste Rodin.
