I was unaware that the Phoenix Art Museum has a fashion collection and a rather large one at that. I was also unaware that the museum is only 66 years old.

Our first stop at the Phoenix Art Museum was the Florentine Baroque: The Haukohl Collection exhibit. Dale and I both really enjoyed it.

From the PAM website: Florentine Baroque: The Haukohl Collection presents more than 30 examples of painting, sculpture, and decorative arts drawn from the most important Florentine Baroque art collection outside of Italy, assembled over more than 40 years by Houston-based art collector and co-founder of the Medici Archive Project Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl. Featured artworks by local Florentine artists and artists living across Europe reflect Florence’s flourishing art industry, as well as the cultural and intellectual legacy of the Medici Grand Dukes on the Renaissance and Baroque movements.
