The Maryhill Museum of Art in the small Columbia Gorge town of Goldendale is one of Washington’s unexpected treasures. Opening for this year on March 15, the grand museum will celebrate it’s 70th anniversary with “70: Seven Decades of Collecting at Maryhill Museum of Art.” The exhibition, which will remain on view through May 31, 2010, features more than 100 prime objects, many acquired by the museum’s four founding patrons: Sam Hill, Queen Marie of Romania, modern dance pioneer Loie Fuller, and San Francisco arts patron and socialite, Alma de Bretteville Spreckels. Special opening events will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2010 and will include family-friendly activities and an evening reception. If you ever have the opportunity to spend a day at Maryhill, I highly recommend it.
