This experience challenged my previous ideas about museums because I used to believe that museums were uninteresting. I previously thought that museums just had paintings and sculptures to look at, and nothing would pique my interest. However, the Brooklyn Museum is thoughtfully laid out with a wide array of art pieces and even a cinema-inspired room. This room in particular (Christian Marclay: Doors) was interesting to me, as it featured a dark room with a film playing, which caught me by surprise. There was also a \u201cstorage\u201d type of room, which contained a wide array of items in glass casings. These exhibits all led to me having a much better picture of what museums are like and how they can be captivating to the public eye. I would encourage other Macaulay students to visit museums, as they may enjoy different forms of art that are on display and form their own opinions of it. This makes museums a unique experience that all students can enjoy in their own ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
