I went to the Hammer Museum on January 30 to visit the Book of Genius exhibit, and was quite impressed. The detail each piece showed, as well as the fact that it was done in pen. It was interesting to be able to look at something and see the mistakes (the white out), yet not be bothered at all. R Crumb had his own unique touch to it by showcasing the sexual parts of the bible, by showing it graphically, unlike most versions you would see. Overall, definitely worth the drive, as well as being able to see some of the other exhibits including Rembrandt prints.
