Chagall sites - Belarus, France, Israel, Switzerland, USA

Problem
Where can I see Chagall paintings or stained glass windows or visit a Chagall Museum? Let's make a list. What about making my own Chagall collection or display?

To make your own tribute or collection:
When visiting a museum: Buy postcards. 

Frame two or three or more in a line or diagonal or triangle. Print the life of Chagall from Wikipedia. Stick printed life story on the back of your picture or frame it alongside. Use it to answer the questions of visitors. Or learn it to impress visitors with your knowledge.

Order online. Add to your Amazon or Ebay shopping cart until you qualify for free delivery and so you only have to stay home once to receive one delivery and can be sure all items have been received. 

Add to your Christmas list. Or birthday wish list.

If budget allows buy poster size prints. Use to decorate your home, restaurant or business reception or waiting area. 

Use as secret Santa gift at a Christmas party.  Or a Hanukkah gift. Or donate to a fund-raising raffle for your club.
