Night at the Museum at the Brooklyn Museum changed my perception of museums completely. I used to consider them just a collection of ancient paintings and historical artifacts but my visit to Fool’s Errand #3 by Jarvis Boyland opened my eyes to a different side of museums modern art with real life issues today such…

This photo reminds me of quarantine. My sister and I would go hiking every weekend during that period of time, so I feel particularly nostalgic when looking at vast landscapes in nature.

I think this museum was a much different museum than what I’m used to. There were many radical paintings that I imagine was curated to shock the public especially those in the tension exhibition. I also enjoyed the exhibition with collection of vintage and contemporary lamps, clocks, and even tea kettles. I would definitely encourage…

An art piece that invoked strong feelings for both my group and I was a mural called the Web of Life by John Biggers 1958. In this mural, John Biggers juxtaposes transitions from night to day and winter to summer, as humans sow and harvest crops. Humans are born from, nourished by, and in death…

The We are the 99% personally invoked a strong feeling of unity between the people. Sebastian Errazuriz uses this chair as a symbol of rebellion to protest income disparity and to argue that the 99% of people are against the 1% wealth. This invokes a strong feeling because everyone around me is in the 99%…

This experience reinforced my idea of museums being an area where art and history coincide to create meaningful pieces showcasing the cultures, thoughts, and ideas of humanity. Throughout my visit I saw different periods of time represented through furniture, paintings, sculptures, and fabrics. I’ve always admired museums and enjoy looking at how art has evolved…
