US Today has announced the results of the Readers' Choice 10 Best in the Art categories. Let's see if my favorites did any better than in the Museum categories!
Best Art Museum
After much debate, I picked the Joslyn as the best art museum. It placed 6th. Top honors go to the Toledo Museum of Art. I'm happy with that result - we absolutely loved our visit to TMA.
Best City for Street Art
I voted for Denver as the best city for Street Art and it ended up ranking at #7. The winner is Philadelphia. It's not street art, but don't miss Philadelphia's Magic Gardens the next time you're there. (Fun fact: We'll be visiting two of the cities on the 10Best List next month! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of street art.)
Best Sculpture Park
My pick for Best Sculpture Park is Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey. It is ranked at #7. The top vote getter is Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park. We missed it during our trip to North Carolina; I'm adding it the list for the next time we visit the Tar Heel State.
Best Small Town Arts Scene
Healdsburg was my pick for Best Small Town Arts Scene, but it did not place in the Top 10, despite being home to the largest moss wall in the US (which really should count for something). Top honors went to Vermillion in southeastern South Dakota, a stone's throw from Nebraska.
I enjoyed seeing how the rankings came out in each of the art categories, but more importantly, I've added some destinations to my must-visit list!
