Museum shows so often feel like mini-seminars in art history that you almost feel guilty when one comes along that lets you just enjoy spending an hour or so looking at a bunch of really interesting pictures.
The exhibition of recent acquisitions that opened this weekend at the Phillips Collection in Washington is that kind of show, one where you don't have to pore over every label and wall text for fear of missing something important. You just stroll through and enjoy the sights along the way.
