In comparison to my previous ideas about museums, this experience has reinforced or challenged those ideas because I used to be an avid hater of museums. I thought they were boring and time consuming, however throughout macaulay I have learned how to be a critical museum visitor and really broadened my scope. I’ve learned that museums can actually be intriguing and valuable when you find a topic that interests you. I would highly recommend other macaulay students to visit museums because it’s a positive way to learn and appreciate beautiful art, while opening your perspectives and visiting new areas!
