The Trips Committee announced a new excursion scheduled for Wednesday, April 17.

The group will go by van to the Brooklyn Museum where the main exhibit is “Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving,” focusing on the iconic legend’s style, identity and legacy. There is a timed-admission. There are 11 paintings, lots of drawings and photographs, and personal possessions from her Mexico City home, Casa Azul (Blue House). They are being shown in the U.S. for the first time. They will include clothing, jewelry and prosthetic devices.

Sign-up for the trip will, as usual, take place in the Trips Book located in the Activities Alcove.

Signing up for a trip is a commitment. It is expected that if you do so, you will show up at the appropriate time to participate. If for some reason that is not possible and you must cancel, you are required to draw a line through your name on the list of participants as early as possible so another resident can take your place in the van.
