what's your fav museum

[tribaljunkee]

I've been to a lot in the past 2 years, and I was wondering what are some other peoples favorite museums and what kind of art do people like (if any). My fav is moma in ny and since its free for me I love spending days in the museum of fine arts here in boston. I also like museums in london and in cambridge when I was there. I have this urge to go to paris cause most of the shit I find nice is from french artists (monet,gauguin,van gogh even tho he was dutch he worked in south and northwest of france) I know many fancy the italian artists but I love a lot of french antiques as well. The furniture from mid-late 1800s is so beautiful...I wanna rob it and have it in my room. I'm not big into the egyptian sculptures and all that stuff, but anyways anybody here goes to museums.

My favorites are the Met and the Cloisters. I love the Impressionist and the Rennaisance periods of art, and i love all the ancient egyptian artifacts and sculpture they have there as well...there such a variety of things to see, I never tire of the Met. I love the Cloisters b/c of the structure and the display of the art and gardens, it truly transcends you to another time in history. and all the docents are so well versed on the exhibits, it brings that much more to the experience.

I find some of the egyptian stuff interesting..I mean I find the whole mummification thing cool. The tombs that are here are sweet as well. Roman art like statues are boring to me. I never liked the greek art portion because its predominantly greek mythology and I never was into that. The only thing I like to see is the currency used during the different classical periods and different regions of the roman empire or under the rule Alexander alexander the great shit they used in macedonia etc etc. Museums are a great way to spend a sat afternoon especially in the winter. I was walkin around the contemperary american art part of the museum and I don't like what they have on display. I like the jewelery and shit they used to like serve food in, in the asian art area a lot.

Its a great way to spend a day with your man. Even if he doesn't like art you both are learning about shit chances are you didn't even know about. The outside garden inside the museum is nice for a ciggy break.I'm lookin at some of this and am like "if I was on acid this picture would be kick ass" .

I definitely have to bring myself up to speed on current art. I have never been much of a fan of modern schools of painting and sculpture. I enjoy the beauty and refinement of classical technique. With artists like Van Gogh and Monet, you see the development of their work and style as they go through different phases of their lives, Van Gogh with his mental instability, Monet and his eye sight. Most modern artists lack that depth of character and feeling in their work to me.
