    "Greetings from Pereira da Silva Art Gallery!
    A terrific mix of artists work you've got there - I really like some of the painting - both conceptually interesting and well produced. Please keep me informed of your exhibitions and events."

    "Really enjoyed the museum and love that BMA has a Flickr account for the behind-the-scenes photos. I found BMA to be welcoming, not at all pretentious, encyclopedic but not dry, and very comfortable. Sharing these Flickr photos seems perfectly in keeping with that experience."

    "Visited my sister for Thanksgiving and got a chance to check out the Annie Leibovitz and Ron Mueck exhibitions. They were absolutely amazing. I especially liked the Mueck exhibition. I'm no art critic, but for me, if something can make you stop, want to walk around, take another look, and make your thoughts wonder, that's good enough. And the Mueck exhibition did just that. Thanks for putting it on! I'll definitely have to go back to the Museum next year when I visit again. I'm looking forward to it."

    "I see the beautiful museum out of my kids window every day. Its got a great collection, a great plaza where the whole neighborhood hangs out, great first saturdays, and great films. The only drawback: a terrible cafe."
