On this edition of ST, we present another installment in our ongoing Museum Confidential podcast series, which is created twice a month by our own Scott Gregory and Philbrook Museum's Jeff Martin. This time out, MC offers an interesting look at a new exhibit on view at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond: "Edward Hopper and the American Hotel." This show includes about 60 of Hopper's hospitality-themed works -- including paintings, sketches, and early-career cover illustrations for trade magazines -- as well as 35 works by other American artists exploring travel in (and throughout) the U.S.
