MY second favorite museum
Yesterday, I went to the Guggenheim museum. It was really lovely and has a really cool set up. It's a spiraling museum that contain 7 floors of art. The paintings where really pretty though however some I didn't understand much of because the painting itself looked weird and sort of blob like. However it also caused me to pause at that specific blob like painting and try to figure it out like a jigsaw puzzle to see if it makes sense. I also like that fact that the museum gives you free audio tapes that tell you a little about the painting itself when you punch in the specific number according to the painting. This was really helpful in understanding.
I recommend this museum because it is really awesome and when you're in the lobby and look upward it is really cool to see the spiral. Plus the painting are really nice and have their own flare of color and style. This would probably have to be my second favorite museum so far.

Museum of art & design
On friday, along with the Frick collection, my class and I went to the Museum of art and design. It was also a cool museum because one design stuff ourselves in a craft room upstair. It was really cool to see how none of the designs that my class created was the same. Another thing that really found my curiousity was the importated fabric that was in the museum. It was from Shangri La and the Middle East. The three clothing designs that where on display where really nice and had alot of good details on it. It looked really complicated and I was shocked that the embroidery designs was actually sewn by hand. One was a a burgandy Robe with gold embroidery designs all throught the back. It was really special and it must of taken quite some time to make but the result was vey detailed. Probably worth the time it took. The Robe I later find out was a wedding robe. Brides would wear them when they where to marry. That must be a royal wedding then I assum. The rugs design that hung on the wall next to the robes were pretty awesome too, very middle eastern looking. I loved the designs as well.
I recomend this museum because it was really good and I liked it. However, I would of wanted to see more the museum and floors to get a better looks at all of the cultural displays there was in the museum.

The Frick collection

I recommend this museum (and it might even be safe to say this was my favorite museum as of now.) for many reasons. One because the paints and sculptures are amazing because one they are enormous and they are protrits of important people through out history who have story to tell us that one doesn't know about but they are intresting. and two, I admire how the collection is so privite and reserved like a house (no pun intended) but really comfory and the interior design is really nice and well preserved and everything is so neat and organized.
The only think I would have to say that I didn't like is the fact you can't take pictures, but other then that, it really is a beautiful collection of paintings.

Brooklyn Museum..
Today I went to the brooklyn museum and it was also entertaining. However I would still say that the MoMA museum would still be my favorite so far. Although I did enjoy a certain exhibit while in the Brooklyn museum. There was alot to see and it was really well organized. The lobby would probably be the best place to go first because it is sort of like a pre exhibt a mix or jumble of art from different places. My favorite part of the tour would probably be when we went inside a room where the artist does a process of taking a pictures then doing a college with paint and rhinestones on a huge canvas wall. It really colorful and cheerful and the art has a meaning behind it or atleast a story of how the artisit was inspired to do this.
I recommend it because it's a good museum and very festive in a way. It also has alot to looks and and all look very abstract.

I really did like the museum and i do recommend it. If i had to say though, out of all the museums I've been too this would be my favorite as of now. I can't wait to see where we go tomorrow maybe that might be my favorite and this would get bumped to second best. However back on track, I would re-state that I Recommend to visit the museum because it has a lot of things on each floor and their are 6 floors total.

Whitney Museum
(Inside the Whintey museum) |
I recommend it because it's so cool how the building is set up and some of the suplutures aren't that fancy looking or heck even that pretty looking that you would even look twice at. There are also different sized paintings and supluture for example walking down the stair in the museum the tour guide mention a sulputure that I didn't even notice until he pointed out to our group in a corner on top of a platform above the bottom of the stairs.
