And this is my friend, Flurffy.
(Flurffy barking) And today, we are at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
Last time we were here, it was still under construction, but now renovations are finished (Flurffy barking) and the museum is open!
I can't wait to go inside and see everything the museum has to offer.
Are you ready, Flurffy?
Let's go!
(Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) (gasping) Flurffy, this is the original 1937 facade.
- Facade?
- (gasping) Oh, a facade is the face of a building!
And this one is from the very first museum.
Come on, let's go inside.
(Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) Flurffy?
(Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) (presenter gasping) (presenter laughing) (Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) Flurffy!
Woof, I got you!
(laughs) (Flurffy barking) Nice one.
(gasping) Oh, you are so excited!
(Flurffy barking) I know.
Let's go, come on.
(bright upbeat music) (air whooshing) Come on, Flurffy, let's get our tickets.
Two, please.
(bright upbeat music) Come on, Flurff, let's go.
(bright upbeat music) Look at all this cool art, Flurffy.
(gasping) Oh, look, it looks like grass, but it's really made of porcelain.
(gasping) Oh, back up, please.
Remember, we look with our eyes, not with our paws.
(Flurffy barking) And we have to stay two to three feet back from all of the artwork.
What a good dog!
(Flurffy barking) Come on.
Let's see what else there is.
Look, Flurffy, this is a painting of people who work in a museum.
(Flurffy barking) I know.
And all of their pets are on the wall behind them.
(air whooshing) (bright upbeat music) What you think?
(bright upbeat music) Wow, Flurffy, come look at this.
This is a site-specific installation.
That means the artist came here and made this artwork specifically for this spot.
Wow, look, it goes all the way over there!
(Flurffy barking) (gasping) You're right, Flurffy.
Natasha Bowdoin's artwork is inspired by nature.
(air whooshing) (bright music) (footsteps clanking) Come on, Flurffy, let's take a break in the Cultural Living Room.
Find us a spot.
(Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) The Cultural Living Room is a great place to take a break, play some games.
What is your card?
(Flurffy barking) Oh, okay, let's see.
"Read a book."
Oh, you're so good at reading, Flurffy.
Yes, yes, you are!
"Get a drink at the coffee bar or a snack."
"Just sit and rest."
We got a big day ahead of us, buddy.
There's all sorts of things you can do in the Cultural Living Room, almost anything you can do in your own living room!
(gasping) Look at the time, Flurffy.
(Flurffy barking) It's almost time for our show!
(Flurffy barking) Come on, let's go down to the theater.
(Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) Come on, Flurffy, let's go!
(bright upbeat music) (door opens) Come on, Flurffy!
The show is about to start.
Are you ready?
(whispers) Here we go.
(bright upbeat music) (air whooshing) Whoo, that was so much fun!
Did you like it?
Yeah!
(laughs) (Flurffy barking) (presenter gasping) Where are you going, Flurff?
Flurffy!
(Flurffy barking) (gasping) Oh, look, Flurffy, it's a lot of mini yous.
(Flurffy barking) (presenter laughing) (gasping) Oh, come on, Flurffy.
It's time for your art class.
(Flurffy barking) (bright upbeat music) Okay, have fun in your art class.
(Flurffy barking) Bye, Flurffy!
(Flurffy barking) Flurffy is off to make some art at the Windgate Art School where we have classes for all ages.
Thank you so much for joining us today at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts where there's fun for everyone, bye.
