100th Post of Blog Addison

Nearly two years ago, on February 27, 2007, my colleague James Sousa posted the first entry of Blog Addison. Many topics have been covered since then: countless exhibitions opened and closed, the Laserdisc was retired, incalculable impressions were made on visitors of all ages, we mourned the loss of the monumental artist Sol LeWitt, our collection became accessible online, the outdoor sculptures were removed from our courtyard, and the Addison closed its doors for the renovation. The list seems never ending, which makes sense since there have been ninety-nine posts to date. Today’s post highlights unique elements of the museum and the sum equals 100 in honor of our one-hundredth post. Drum roll please...
