We took an inspiration-driven field trip to the Oceanside Museum of Art to visit the five current exhibitions on display. Featured were examples of re-purposed material and representational sculptures by Italo Scanga and beautiful oil and print works from Francoise Gilot, wife of Professor Jonas Salk and known in the past for her relationship with Pablo Picasso. The museum is a spacious, impressive architectural building located in downtown Oceanside with plenty of free parking next to the Civic Plaza.
