Visiting museums, galleries and theaters can give one a new
perspective and outlook in life. Looking at artistic pictures,
paintings, artifacts, sculptures can give life a brand new
dimension that you’ve never seen before.
It’s not possible to visit a place without delving a little bit
into the historical value of the place and the best place to
find evidence of its history is the museum. There are many top
world-class museums everywhere in the world. For example,
there’s the world-class Cleveland Museum of Art whereby there’s
continuous upgrading to accommodate the stream of visitors to
the museum. And of course, if you ever step foot into Detroit,
don’t forget to visit the Detroit Institute of Arts. There, you
can check out many intriguing Ancient Arts collection especially
the Frankenthaler’s “The Bay”. The Fine Arts Museum of San
Francisco is another not-to-be-missed museum because there’s
more than 70,000 pieces of arts and images there; the most
popular ones in the museum features works by Rodin and Rembrandt.
If you’re a fan of Italian artists and painters, you’ll fine a
huge collection of work from Italian artists at Galleria Delgi
Uffizi. The art museum features works from famous Italian
artists like Botticelli, Veronse and Giorgione. Of course,
Russia used to be really famous for its creative painters and
artists too, for instance, some of the most popular works are
housed in the Hermitagae Museum in Russia. This is where there
are approximately 2,000 holdings that contain more than
3,000,000 pieces of world masterpieces.
Who can forget France when we’re talking about museums and
world-class art? Musee du Louvre is another art museum that is
surely not-to-be-missed if you visit France. This is the museum
where the Mona Lisa, The Raft of Medusa, Venus de Milo and the
Victory of Samothrace is housed. Therefore, your visit to France
is not complete without visiting this art museum. We’re talking
about truly renowned art pieces here, not to be seen anywhere
else. The visit to this art museum will definitely be worth your
time.
Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain, is also known as
Museo del Prado. It’s, by far, not the largest nor the most
exquisite art museum in the world but this museum contains some
of the best art pieces to be ever created in this world! Museo
del Prado contains some wisely selected art pieces. While you’re
there, why not pick some extremely unique greeting cards (with
smaller versions of some world class art pieces) to send home to
your friends and family?
The National Gallery of Art in the Washington, D.C., is also not
to be missed. In fact, you’ll be astounded with the effort they
put into making their website coordinate with the design of the
actual museum. The National Gallery of Art website is one of the
most extensive and aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-use art
gallery websites that I have ever visited. You can go on a
virtual tour by visiting the museum’s website before you decide
to pop on over to the museum.
