It’s a quiet week in the art world given it’s a holiday week (Happy Thanksgiving 😅). We have no major exhibit openings or closures to report in neither the museums nor the galleries. That being said the Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche opens at the Met on Nov 26, and will be up through Jan 6.

Here’s a reminder of ongoing museums exhibits worth checking out this holiday weekend:

1. Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910- 1930 at the Guggenheim

2. Thomas Schütte at MoMA

3. Solid Gold at the Brooklyn Museum

4. The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum

5. Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes at Neue Galerie

6. Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston at the Jewish Museum

7. Making Home — Smithsonian Design Triennial at Cooper Hewitt

8. Mandalas: Mapping the Buddhist Art of Tibet at the Met

Note, all the museums will be closed Thanksgiving day.
