I've seen museums do special exhibits surrounding spring lots of times, from paintings of Victorian flowers to bird sculptures, but the de Young's homage to spring this year blew me away.
Each year, they have an exhibit/fundraiser called Bouquets to Art that lasts for five days. You can imagine how a five-day exhibit at a huge art museum in a giant city would get crowded, and it was, even in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. I've been in my share of crowded spaces before but it felt really overwhelming being around so many people intentionally huddling around such a tight space. I lasted 30 minutes before I had to get out of there, but I'm still glad I went!
