Here Be Dragons!
The "Masterof Space & Time" exhibit is soon to have new artwork rotated in, while all of the paintings currently on loan from private collections will be returned to their owners. Among the thus soon-to-depart are "Halitosis" and "Let Sleeping Dragons Die!" Past masterpieces, skillfully rendered in the days when the artist was meticulous in his attention to delusional detail, neither painting has been shown publicly for more than fifteen years, so if you haven't seen them you had better get down here quick — but you should come during regular business hours, because this month we will not be staying open late on First Friday.
