One of the best places in New York City opened on this date in 1872 — the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It houses a great collection like items by Louis Comfort Tiffany, works by American and international artists and special exhibitions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art was created by a group of Americans who wanted to establish a national gallery for the American people. It has met that goal and then some.
Fortunately there are many wonderful places in El Dorado County to enjoy art.
The art of singing is on display at the Brick Oven Pub, 2875 Ray Lawyer Drive in Placerville, on Wednesdays during February. Jonny Mojo will be singing acoustic Americana music from 6 to 9 p.m. Mojo will be performing a variety of his own original tunes, blues, rock, bluegrass, and of course, some Grateful Dead. Stop in for some Brick Oven pizzas. For more information call 530-622-7420.
