Along the highway

Those planning to visit the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art this summer after it opens for an exhibition Sunday, and beyond, will no longer have to go looking for the Mondavi sign at the Old Davis Road exit. The museum has its own freeway signs.

In the last few weeks, signs along Interstate 80 and State Highway 113 has shown drivers a sign telling them that it is not just a sign for the Mondavi Center, but for the Manetti Shrem Museum too.
