In celebration of the centennial of The New Yorker Magazine, the New York Transit Museum is presenting Commentary on the Commute: A Century of The New Yorker’s Transportation Cartoons from Wednesday, March 26th to October 26, 2005.

The free exhibit, in the Transit Museum’s Grand Central Gallery & Store, highlights the humor, challenges, and peculiarities of public transportation through the lens of some of the most iconic cartoonists of the past century.

Sarasota, Florida for World Circus Day

World Circus Day is coming up next month (April 19) and that would be a great excuse to head to Sarasota, Florida to visit the Circus Museum at The Ringling.

The Ringling’s Museum of Art is also currently hosting Conjuring the Spirit World: Art, Magic, and Mediums.

The exhibit includes paintings, posters, photographs, costumes, film and other objects that explore the role art and objects played for mediums and magicians “communicating” with the dead during the 19th- and 20th-century Spiritualism movement in the U.S. and Europe.
