When they said “Night at the Museum”, the idea I had about the night was more, “Explore a museum at night” and less, “Be confined to one floor of the museum for 2 hours staring at chairs”. The exhibit at the museum itself looked like your stereotypical museum art exhibit, jarring theme shifts as you walk through the exhibit, and an obvious focal point.
Unfortunately, the floor we were on seemed to exclusively have dozens of chairs on display, most of which you shouldn’t sit on. some chairs seemed to actually be art, not looking like a factory made chair, but most were just plain rocking chairs or children’s chairs, and a theatre showing transitions between different black and white films by means of doors, and there was even a plain white folding chair hanging on the wall as… art?
I didn’t see any meaning to the exhibit other than to show me a bunch of chairs, physical or painting.
I did see one work of art, a giant painting of a storm about to befall a mountain range, that I liked. It was more than just a landscape as it showed hunters chasing deer, with an already dead one nearby.
Overall, I neither enjoyed or hated the trip. It was definitely something different, but I wish there was a wider variety of exhibits for us to see.
