This weekend, I took advantage of free admission at the Kimbell to see the rare sculpture collection “Myth and Marble.” If you haven’t seen this exhibit, then I highly recommend it. The gallery runs through Sunday, Jan. 25, so there’s still time. At the exit of the exhibit, make sure to enter to win the official hardcover. If I win, I’m adding it to my collection of coffee table books.
