This is the first major overview of Cezanne’s work in North America in more than a quarter century. The exhibit presents more than 100 works, including oil paintings, watercolors,

and drawings. The exhibition considers what set Cezanne apart from his contemporaries, and how his work continues to influence the painters of today.

Museum of Ice Cream Are the residents of Park Place interested in visiting Chicago's new Museum of Ice Cream, located in the former Chicago Tribune building? Staff would like to know if we should work to schedule a trip. In the latest among seven other locations nationwide, the Chicago Museum of Ice Cream allows visitors to learn about the history of ice cream, play at the dessert- themed indoor carnival, relax in a "sea of pink clouds" in a balloon room, and throw virtual cherries at each other in an integrative game, a release said. Naturally, museum-goers will also have the chance to try five dessert stations , featuring unique items like ice cream hot dogs and shaved ice, along with seasonal treats. Vegan and allergen-free treat options will be available for guests with dietary restrictions as well. The museum opens July 16, and tickets are $36 (which include the five ice cream desserts). Transportation provided by Park Place. Please RSVP to the Concierge if you would be interested in going. This RSVP does not obligate you because a date has not yet been set. If enough residents express interest, we will schedule a trip!

Hallway Safety There are many times when we are all in a hurry. But

do keep in mind that a hallway collision would be problematic for Park Place residents. Please take your time and be especially sure to slow down when you are approaching a blind hallway intersection. Residents and others have seen some near misses — so please be careful and slow down.
