    The Tennessee State Museum hosts a premiere screening of a new documentary entitled “Pleasant Journeys and Good Eats along the Way.” The film shares the same title as the retrospective exhibition of John Baeder’s paintings currently on display at the museum. The film screening will be followed by a question and answer session with artist John Baeder and filmmaker Curt Hahn of Film House. The museum’s senior curator of art and architecture, Jim Hoobler, will serve as moderator. There is no admission for either the exhibit or event.

    “For more than thirty-five years, John’s passionate interest in diners has led him to become the preeminent chronicler of a uniquely American form of roadside architecture,” states Kevin Grogan, Director of the Morris Museum of Art and one of the executive producers of the film. “Critics have commented on his technical virtuosity, but he is a virtuoso with a purpose— creating a record of the architecture that surrounds the homely dining experience. This role as an historic preservationist sets him apart from his peers and identifies him as unique among contemporary realists.”
