Museums wager Super bet

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – The Seattle Art Museum and the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, are wagering valuable pieces of artwork on Sunday’s Super Bowl.

No, the loser won’t give away a masterpiece – just a three-month loan.

If the New England Patriots win, the Seattle museum will loan Albert Bierstadt’s 1870 landscape, “Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast” to the Clark.

If the Seattle Seahawks win, the Clark will lend Winslow Homer’s 1900 masterpiece depicting the rocky Maine coast, “West Point, Prout’s Neck.”
