Freedom Fries

The French Ambassador to the United States, Jean-David Levitte, is here in the museum. He is being given a private tour of the Van Gogh to Mondrian exhibit. I find this very exciting, especially since it is being done without a lot of fanfare or stress. I wonder if he would even be here if it weren't for Van Gogh. What does he think of Seattle? Why is he even up here in the Pacific Northwest anyway?
