I cannot convey how magical the current (or past, depending on when you read this) exhibit is. This was the first time I'd seen so many of Daniel's works gathered in one place before and the result was kind of overwhelming. I visited on a Thursday (free admission day!) at 7pm and while there was a few other people in the space, it was spaced out and organized in a way that it felt like I had it all to myself. Bravo to whoever curated the exhibit as I found it extremely thoughtful with just a touch of the playfulness that comes with Daniel's work. I have seen some other reviews of people who didn't like the presence of employees within the exhibit but I found them nonintrusive. Of particular note was seeing Daniel's piano set up the very way he had it at his home -- it's hard to put into words what it felt like standing in front of it. The upstairs gallery was slightly underwhelming after the visual and emotional feast of the Daniel Johnston exhibit but the rooftop offers up amazing views of downtown (even if these views are slightly obstructed) especially as the sun is setting. I used to work down the street from The Contemporary and would pop by sometimes on my lunch break -- no matter what exhibits are currently showing I always find it to be a calming and inspiring place.
