So it begins...

Thomas Hoving speaks tonight at the Fine Arts Center - the beginning of the center's four-day reopening celebration. I'll be there, and for some of the other stuff, and will report regularly.

There's some time to go through the galleries prior to the lectures, so I'll be able to see the new galleries exhibiting art for the first time. There were a couple of hard-had walk-throughs, but that only gives you hints of how the final spaces will work.
