No - but thanks, been a few years since I last visited this great hidden gem in Toledo.
Funny how people travel all over to come to places like this, Henry Ford, and the likes,  while we have them in our "backyard", and don't get to visit them very often.   Waiting for the grandkids to get a little bit older to enjoy them again!

I really like the TMA but I haven't been since the 60's rock poster art exhibit. Small worlds looks interesting although I've seen some of these in the past and some can be pretty strange. Looks like a trip will be in my future.

Went there today with my Wife.  We enjoyed it as usual.  Today I was studying light and progression of steps used to create a paining..  Also found a Rodin interesting in how rough it was made.  A part of the small world, which was nice, but small (no pun intended).  There is a series on display by Charles Kanwischer that are awesome. They are small format, but look exactly like black and white photos but are graphite (pencil).  I am pretty good with pencil, but wow!
