I've seen it once, in Chicago. I was in my early 20s and I didn't know back then there were lots of versions of it.

How about exposing the "upcoming" dates to users? It's a bit a of tease not knowing where it'll be next...

Thanks for the request. I appreciate people might want to plan ahead for trips.

I went to the page and came away frustrated because I thought the “upcoming” link was broken. I say either show the information or remove the tease.

If you’re really worried about people missing a showing, include an add to calendar link.

I've now added a Calendar feed, which also contains any of the upcoming events with confirmed end dates. Thanks for the suggestion!

given that many visitors to this forum are several thousand kilometers from the current "on view" locations, I suspect that information will be appreciated

A bit like "the scream" and "sunflowers". I went to the Munch museum in Oslo and was very impressed.

Aren't the versions of "The Scream" all pretty different though? I think I read some of them are pencils or charcoals only, whereas the Great Wave variants seem to be quite similar

There are some different pictures on a theme and some more similar ones from what I remember. I'll have to check out the wave, I only know it from popular culture, I don't think I've seen it in person.

In the discussion about the 1-bit Great Wave someone posted this:
