We first visited the Cleveland Museum of Art a few years ago, when we started on our Caravaggio hunting journey. We went for the singular purpose of viewing their Caravaggio piece – the epic “Martyrdom of St. Andrew”. You can check out our Caravaggio painting search status here. Also check out our new not-for-profit venture, The Baroque Art Accessibility Consortium, where you can find cool itineraries for various museums around the world, and fun facts about different baroque artists and…

No trip to Cleveland would be complete without a visit to the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame. In fact, many come to Cleveland as a pilgrimage to these hallowed grounds, and you’d be hard pressed to find more music artifacts in one place, anywhere. We visited with our family in late June of 2025. On our second visit here, we were amazed at how the exhibits change somewhat regularly, marveled at some of the newer movies you could watch,…

While staying in the British Virgin Islands, I knew I wanted to treat the family to a full day sailing around the islands. We had a similar outing in Malta, and it was easily one of the best days of that trip. Rosewood Little Dix Bay recommends two different outfits for a day sail, one being a catamaran (which you see all over the place down here), and one is a truly legit sailboat. I had originally attempted to book…

The Doria Pamphilij Gallery is a bit of an under-the-radar spot for some epic art viewing, but if you want to be impressed with a super fancy villa that’s in really great shape in the heart of Rome, that has literally piles of art adorning every single square inch of every wall, definitely come here. You can easily buy tickets in advance, and I usually recommend doing so, although this gallery is not as busy as most others in Rome,…

The Galleria Borghese in Rome is a must-visit museum when you are staying in the Eternal City. It’s chock full of incredible sculptures and paintings, and the grounds surrounding the museum (the Villa Borghese) are beautiful, and worthy of an extended stroll. You absolutely must buy tickets in advance to the Galleria Borghese. They do not allow walk-ins at all, and tickets are strictly timed, and there is never a line to wait in. You have only two hours to…

On our recent art-and-food-of-Paris extravaganza trip in November of 2024, we, of course, visited the Musee D’Orsay. I hadn’t been here in about 15 years, and I was excited to return because the museum itself has changed quite a bit, and I feel like it’s actually got a lot more art going on here than it did back then. My main memories were basically just of the building itself, which is stunning, so it was fun to check out a…

During our Summer, 2024 trip to London, Brian and I were super excited to visit the National Gallery, which boasts THREE Caravaggio paintings. We were quite disappointed to learn, though, that while we were visiting, two of the three paintings were going to be off on loan elsewhere. This gap was made up for, however, with the addition of Caravaggio’s final painting, “The Martyrdom of St. Ursula,” which is normally in Naples, Italy. Check out my Caravaggio page as well…
