Every spring the Milwaukee Art Museum has an event where local florists make arrangements to go with selected artworks. These are my favorites from this year.

Ive been before but forgot this year. Thanks for the recap. Very artistic use of color in an imperfect medium. Your photos show the effect nicely.

Nice photos! I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed visiting the Milwaukee Art Museum many moons ago; I’m adding it to my travel wish-list.

The Cincinnati Art Museum also holds an annual Art in Bloom exhibit this time of year. I’ve never gone, now I have an idea of what it’s like.
We’ve only been to Milwaukee and their art museum once but it is a very clear memory. Really enjoyed their collection.

A great museum. The architecture is amazing. Don’t miss the opening and closing of the wings.

These are a hoot!

Yes, we have this at SF museum every year and they’re a delight to view. Here I like the Big Head and Calder sets, not easy with so little to work with (and with big ideas from the artist), or might that make them easier?
Thank you.

I love these–such an interesting concept! I like the Appel and the Chagall in particular, but they’re all great.

I like it – interpreting art through flowers. I love Richard Diebenkorn so I especially love that that painting and flower arrangement are included. Thanks!

Very fun, and very well done. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I love how the arrangements all match up with the paintings, but in different ways.

I’m impressed, the museum seems to have some very good work, and the flowers are lovely.
