Christmas & Picasso in Seattle

It’s almost Christmas in Seattle and there are a lot of fun things to do.

Go to the Seattle Art Museum to see the fabulous Picasso exhibit that’s here in Seattle through January 17. While the Musée National Picasso in Paris is closed for renovations, they are letting a huge number of fabulous pieces travel the world, and here in Seattle we get to be first to see the collection. It’s over 150 pieces that span his entire career – paintings, drawings, sculpture in bronze, cut metal, even wood – as well as photographs that chronicle his life.

You can see the artist’s progression from life-like drawings to experimenting with flattening his dimensions and abstracting from reality to his famous geometric shapes.

When you’re in Seattle staying with us at the Inn of Twin Gables, it’s a short drive or an easy bus ride to get downtown to the SAM (the bus stop is just 2 blocks from the Inn and will drop you in front of the Museum. Whether you get tickets for Picasso or just wander around the galleries seeing your favorite genre or period artists, it’s a very relaxing way to spend a few hours and it’s only a few steps from other great downtown destinations like Pike Market and Nordstrom.

Make a reservation today to stay with us and let us direct you to SAM, or Seattle’s many other great museums or public art displays! (Did you know we have a troll in Seattle? More on that another time.)
