Among his tickets to the Nobel Prize events, Peter found a Key to the City! We used it to go to the Moderna Museet’s “Turner, Monet, Twombly” exhibit on Tuesday. Most of the Monets were new to us as they came from collections we had never had access to. The Londres, le Parlement, trouée de brouillard (1904) was a wonderful study of the effects of coal smog on light. The late paintings of Turner, including Sun Setting over a Lake (1840), were also a revelation. The curator did a wonderful job grouping different treatments of light. On Wednesday, we used the key to go on a boat tour of Stockholm. Security is tight for all the ticketed Nobel events. We must go to each of the events with our ID.
