Undoubtedly, 18th century French royalty could teach us all a thing or two about celebrating the holidays in style. If you've got the day free on Thursday, join the Rochester Friends of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts on a bus trip to the Twin Cities to attend a lecture,"The Splendour of Table Decoration in the Period of Louis XV and Madame Pompadour." Then tour an art exhibit. Move fast — get details and reserve a seat on the bus by calling507-993-9822, or email wellychen90@gmail.com.
