Casanova and Bouquets to Art

Begin the day at the Legion of Honor exploring the world of the man and adventurer recognized by just his last name, “Casanova.” Born in 1725 in Venice, Giacomo Casanova was a man of many talents including essayist, playwright, librettist, gambler, traveler, spy, and compelling character. The exhibit Casanova: The Seduction of Europe, charts his exploits and life through paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, drawings, musical instruments, and costumes as evoked by the art of his contemporaries including Boucher, Canaletto, and Fragonard. In addition to their artistic works, three-dimensional tableaus of costumed mannequins amid period furniture brings the colorful and lavish style of his world to life. An audio guide is included for your enjoyment of this unique and special exhibit. In the afternoon, travel to the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park for Bouquets to Art 2018. This popular annual event features galleries of fresh floral arrangements inspired by paintings and works of the permanent collection. Designed by top arrangers from the Bay Area and beyond, these floral artists draw their inspiration from the museum works in imaginative and intricate creations that enhance and highlight the art in a new way. Lunch is on your own at either of the museum cafes.
