What does the title mean to you? Is somebody screaming?
For me it refers to the painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. I have always been fascinated by it and someday I hope to see the original painting.
Today I got to see the next best thing. I was in New Haven for business, and I had some time before my train was departing back to Stamford. I went to the Yale University Art Museum. They are having a special exhibit,
Munch and Kirchner:
Anxiety and Expression
The exhibit is great. One certainly gets a feel for the style of Munch. There was a black and white lithograph of the scream.
The Yale Art Museum is always a nice place to visit and enjoy art. They have a great collection of famous artists’ paintings and sculptures.
New Haven is about an hour’s train ride from Stamford. Entrance to the museum is free, and two hours should give you enough time to enjoy the entire collection.
There are other museums in New Haven. The British Museum of Art is next to the Yale Art Museum. The Peabody Natural Science Museum has just reopened after adding additional space.
One can certainly spend an entire day in New Haven visiting the museums and there is a nice selection of restaurants to satisfy your appetite.
