On our final day in Montreal, we went to see the Yves St. Laurent Love exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. I'm not a big fan of luxury culture in general, but as art objects they are lovely. My favorites were the Matisse and Braque (pink below) inspired dresses here.
My mom did a great sketch of one of the Matisse dresses here, as well as some fountains.
I heard that YSL's memorial service was held at his property in Marrakesh and the adjacent Jardin Majorelle. I was able to visit there in 2001, and have some old pictures that I (okay Biff) scanned. Although it is an amazing place, my recommendation is to visit Morocco a time other than August.
I really enjoyed Montreal (and Morocco) and would love to go back, although all travel plans are on hold for the next few years.
