What's the subject of Florida's hottest art exhibition? Manets? Monets? Mummies?
Try motorcycles. A fleet of more than 70 streamlined, sensuous, and seductive motorcycles rolling into the Orlando Museum of Art Jan. 22 through July 23 in an exhibit that explores the motorcycle as both cultural icon and design achievement.
If the exhibition sounds familiar, think back to 1998 when Art of the Motorcycle was one of most popular presentations ever displayed at New York's Guggenheim Museum. The exhibit later set attendance records in Las Vegas and Memphis."
