Want to see "Dinosaurs?" We've got tickets to the Met
UPDATE 11:05 a.m.: We have three winners, with e-mails out to confirm. Thanks, folks, for playing.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Fresno Metropolitan Museum's first major exhibit since its reopening -- "Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origin of Flight" is nearing the end of its run at the downtown venue (the show runs through March 1). The Met reopened Nov. 13 after three years of extensive renovation of the historic 1922 building, which meant it was closed to the public for more than three years.
Well, I've got 10 tickets to give away. The first person to leave a comment gets four, the second person to comment receives four and the third person gets two.
If you haven't stepped through the revamped Met doors yet, you'll get an opportunity to see the bright, streamlined contemporary floors (not to mention the bright apple green color that dominates the stairwells). In addition to the dinosaurs, the museum has other exhibits to explore, not to mention the fun store on the first floor.
Just remember: No multiple entries allowed, and I won't post comments until we have all the winners. Rules are on the jump.

Felicia, what's taking the place of those boring dinosaurs once they finally leave?

Not that I will win, but that museum looks like it could be a nice one. I've been meaning to get down there and check it out, maybe one of these days I will. At the museum in my home town, we have some dinosaurs too, I really loved seeing how big they were. It's kind of breathtaking when you are standing next to something that is that large.

I fear I might be on the late freight for this one...but I haven't had a chance to get down there yet and a couple free tix would give me an excuse...

@Heather: The next major exhibit is called "Anna Richards Brewster: American Impressionist." It runs March 28-June 14. Here's what The Met Web site says about it:
When it comes to early American women painters, one of the few who comes to my mind is Berthe Morisot. So I'm looking forward to seeing the Brewster show. I've only seen examples of her work by going online and also found out that a book has been written about her. I think the Fresno show could be promising.

Thanks, FM. I just looked at the artwork checklist for the exhibition on www.arbrewster.com. Looks promising!
