I think that the art that is currently in the museum should have a suggested song to listen to while viewing the piece. This adds another layer to the type of feelings the artist wants you to feel when admiring their work. I think it would be a nice, interactive aspect of the museum and…

The place I saw myself in this piece of art was actually on the 1 percent that was not present in the painting. This painting represented me because the 99% made me think of everyone my age. It also demonstrates that I do not have the same college experience that a typical college student would…

I have always appreciated them as a place of history, culture, art, and conversation. Such was reinforced tonight as I had conversations…
