If you are playing along at home and following all the cunningly hidden clues, you've probably figured out that the first leg of our impromptu tour of the southeast has taken us to Chattanooga, Tennessee. And when one is in Chattanooga there are several things that one had better try very hard to do.
Near the top of that list is visiting the Hunter Museum of American Art. It has always been one of our favourite museums (anywhere), and since our last visit a couple years ago the museum has added an entire wing.
The Hunter's grounds and architecture are breathtaking, perched as it is on the edge of an 80-foot bluff overlooking the Tennessee River. The permanent collection is diverse and representative of most major movements in American art, and its exhibitions are usually first rate.

Among those artists we were not allowed to capture on tape were Charles Burchfield and Walter Anderson (both in the current exhibition) along with Albert Bierstadt, Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper and Andy Warhol (and many, many more). Not bad.
But that's not all we did on Day 2...
More soon.
