I'd go to the MFA, but those giant baby heads creep me out.

We went to see the exhibit yesterday. My 7-year-old daughter was creeped out by all the Dead Jesus pictures. I really like El Greco's paintings, but after you see a few together like that it's more like being at a Gay Men's Chorus fundraiser than a church.

Its called perspective people. These paintings are 400 years old. Things were different then.

And if you're so hostile to Christianity that you can't appreciate some of the absolute pinnacles of western art because it's incorporated in it, maybe you should stick to the ICA.
