Jell-O Museum, New York

Paint By Number Museum
Believe it or not, I know a few people who are not hipsters collecting paint by numbers ironically but actually think that shit is real art (I may or may not be related to these people or live upstairs from one of them). Not to sound like an art snob,...
Yusupov Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Following the Old Style Julian calendar (the Gregorian calendar was not introduced in Soviet Russia until the 14th of February 1918) today is the 98th anniversary of the murder of Rasputin. I just finished two books (and beginning a third) on Tsar Nicolas II and the Romanovs, so I have...
