We spent yesterday in Albany, first visiting the State Museum of New York. The cafe and the gift shop were closed, but all of the exhibits were open and worth the visit. Also, who knew New York had so many fantastic gems and minerals? The 9/11 exhibit is excellent (and tear-inducing as well). The museum is free; parking only $10.
In the afternoon we stopped in at the Art Institute, less than a mile from the State Museum. The current shows include art from the Hudson River School (approximately 70 paintings), art of the Wyeth family (N.C., Andrew, and Jaime all featured), and a show of frocks from the 1920s (not my favorite).
Visitors in both museums were masked, and nobody was making a fuss about it. New York has a much higher vaccination rate than Pennsylvania. Refreshingly, we didn’t see one Trump sign, confederate flag, or rattlesnake flag asking people not to step on it, which seems unnecessary.
