Night at the Museum

To be completely honest, I have never been to a museum before unless it was for a school trip. It never really caught my attention and I never felt intrigued to learn more about the history or story behind the art pieces. After this visit, my views on museums have definitely changed. While closely observing the art pieces here at the museum I was able to see their beauty and meaning behind them. I was also able to reconnect with my obsession with Egypt and its artifacts. When I was younger, I was always reading about Egypt and their mummies, mythology, and pharaohs. So while walking through the Egypt section, I was able to go back in time and stare at these beautiful paintings and statues in awe. I was also intrigued by the American art section because of the history of the Native Americans. It’s so beautiful to see paintings and artifacts with their histories and stories. I would 100% encourage other Macaulay students to visit museums during their free time!
