To quote the description of the exhibit:

It's a common misconception that tragedy is the primary inspiration for artists. Well what about the good times? Chagall celebrated his domestic bliss. Peter Max drew brightly colored submarines. This exhibit is a celebration of humorous moments, happy thoughts and joy in life!

The show will be open through January 13, 2006 and there is plenty to see.
