Longmont Art Museum

Never before have I seen a museum as grand as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. From its architecture to its massive art collection, The Met has a little bit of everything and one is sure to find something that captures his or her interest. Considering that The Met is the United States' largest art museum, it is easy to get lost within its many corridors and wings. My visit to The Met took place during the last week of July. Despite the almost unbearable heat and humidity that hung in the air, visiting museums under these climate conditions is a welcome respite from a suffocating, yet bright summer afternoon.

One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.

I was excited to start my day by going to the museum on Saturday morning. I had originally decided to visit the Broad Museum in Los Angeles; however, I decided to give my local museum a go. After all, the Bowers Museum was the last museum I had gone to. I regretted my decision. The Bowers Museum does hold several exhibitions, but I found it lacking in actual drawings and paintings. It seems as if they prioritize artifacts over print media. The museum is big and it’s easy to lose yourself in its long hallways. It’s disappointing to see much valuable space, in my opinion, go to waste. In conclusion, I was expecting to see hallways covered in art like I’ve seen in galleries, rooms filled with rarities and beauty, but unfortunately that was not the

As Edgar Degas once said, “ Art is not what you see, but what others make you see”. The St. Louis Art Museum is a place for artist to display their art and give spectators the option to see art from a new perspective. This was the case for me. As we walked up to the beautifully structured building that stood so tall and wide, my expectations were extremely high. At first glance I notice the bronze statue of King Louis IX of France riding high on his horse. From this statue alone, my expectations of the art museum grew stronger. I have never been to an art museum before, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect. My first expectation was to see huge detailed sculptures right as I walked through the door. That expectation didn’t come true.

The Philbrook Museum of Art is easily the best museum Tulsa has to offer, and since I have been there before I probably wasn’t going into with a fresh mindset. However, I think the additional knowledge of art I learned through the couple of years in between allowed me to appreciate even more of the art there. I went there with Prof. Trotter and most of the class of art appreciation. I don’t think that most people that go there realize that the museum has such a rich history, and some of the art there is exceptional in my opinion. We went there November 6th, it was a sunny Friday, and I was able to get off work so it made the visit even more fun. The museum was located in the heart of one of richest neighborhoods of Tulsa, which makes sense considering the museum was once owned by a wealthy oilman. I went to the Philbrook not only to make sure I was able to write this essay, but because I truly love art throughout history.

This is a place I can see myself going back to or recommending someone else to go see?. The day I attended the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art it was a Friday, so the admission was free. The remaining days of the week it is not free admission, however, the price is extremely affordable to anyone, especially college students. The prices range from as low as two to five dollars. Having vast colors and magnificent design, the museum gives an unforgettable appearance. For example, one thing that caught my eye was that the building itself. It is designed to resemble a jewel box, which is a insight into a very well designed and creative museum. The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art has an impressive layout nevertheless. The upper floor had different pieces of artwork from around the world while the lower floor have a rock and mineral exhibit that shows the different stages of carving and polishing the stones. Upon entering the museum one is greeted by staff members who provide reading material or assist with explaining the art, if needed, and they also offer group tours. By going to this museum, I was not only able to see and touch the artwork, I was able to fully experience the art

Before I went to the museum, my prospective about a museum was poor expectations. What can a museum will offer? , this was one of the questions that I always had in mind. For these reasons, I never thought that I could enjoy a museum tour. However, everything change after visited the Phoenix Art Museum. I went to the trip with poor expectations, but since I arrived in the lobby with all of my classmates and the professor. I started feel that this trip will be sash an educational experience.

17. On my museum experience, I took it in like every other visit to the museum I have ever had: much like other children expressed wonder and amazement at a circus performance or sports game; I was awestruck and mesmerized by the colors, the atmosphere, and the same restrained joy that I felt evident in the eyes of all the other observers. My girlfriend and I made our way through the museum, blending in with crowds of other viewers to see Cezanne, Gauguin, Brueghel, O’Keefe and the like in the permanent collection, making time to go from one end of the spectrum to the other. But my heart has always had a soft spot for

My experience to the Dallas Museum of Art was a bit different from the last time I had attended the museum. I was curious to see what pieces of art there would be and if it would be the same as the previous visit which was long ago, but to me all the pieces of art were so different and very interesting. It may have been because I saw all the pieces in a new perspective since learning about the different types of paintings there can be and knowing how and where sculptures come from. Even though I do not know much of art I really gave it a try into seeing what the artist may have wanted us to get out of his work. By reading a view of the chapters made me aware of art, I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but it was actually nice knowing that a

The premises of the Museum are also well kept. I was also amazed to find out that the visit to the Museum is completely free. Since it’s a public place, no one charges any person for the things that they view at the place.

I only had attended my children art presentation at their school before. This was my first time going to an actual museum and enjoyed the different types of art and what represents for each artist. From this exhibition I liked the experience of seeing the presented artist’s arts. I asked my son to go with me, because everyone else were busy. My son is living to the university in a couple of weeks so this was a good excuse to spent time together and enjoy his company. I thought “O deer, he is going to be boring.” Actually he was very curious about the different exhibitions going on. We had a very good time and is a memory that we'll share forever. The only complain I have is that there were only a few for the “Conjunction” exhibition than the rest exhibitions. The receptionist was very nice and they also have a small souvenir shop. In the future, I'm planning to continuing visiting exhibitions for my own knowledge and

When I first arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was eager to discover all the different art forms. It was my first time at the museum; I had no idea where to start. The museum is huge; there are many exhibits to see and the ones that will be coming in the near future. I decided to start from the top to bottom in order to make it easier for myself to leave in the end. My experience, as many others would say was fantastic! While I have been to art museums before, what I encountered was different than I expected. What I discovered was that you couldn't just step into an exhibit and walk through. Once you stepped into an exhibit, you stepped into that time period, into a different world where time stood still as you walked past each work,

When I am visiting the museum, I was trying to break everything down and notice the details. The Artworks that are displayed are very influential and have the power to give experience in the area of visual Art.

Though going into a museum may seem uneventful, there are a plenty of opportunities to gain especially from Sommerhauser’s creation of Arch. The audience connected themselves personally with Arch by experiences they have encountered in life to help reach an explanation for themselves and for the artist. Art improves the mentality to think outside the box and analyze different scenarios such as a rainy day, suicide, or the positive and negative energy of the world which implements more knowledge into their mind. Sommerhauser allows his audience in emotionally with his art. Emotionally connecting to art overall is similar to dancers being able to feel the music with graceful body movement, or songwriters writing lyrics with a purpose. It compares

According to the American Alliance of Museums, community engagement in museums includes the use of this facility as “a center where people gather to meet and converse and an active, visible player in civic life, a safe haven, and a trusted incubator of change” (Long 141). Different museums
