The Museum Of Fine Arts Is Large Consisting Of Two Buildings Connected By A Neat Underground Tunnel
Trip to The Museum of Fine Arts
This semester I visited the Museum of Fine Arts. The thing I thought was, it was pretty large made up of two buildings linked by a cool underground tunnel. Parking is free across the street. This museum is remarkable with its collection of fine art pieces. Even if you aren't an art lover I still think you will enjoy a visit. I went through it quickly, but still spent about 90 minutes there. If you like fine art you will spend twice that amount of time there.
The museum artwork from many different times, from Italian renaissance to Dutch baroque to post impressionism and even some modern art. Although it was mainly European, it also has some ancient Egyptian and other cultures such as Korea, India, Japan, etc. Some of the artists I saw were: Manet, Picasso, Van Der Wyden, Turner, Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Emile Bernard, Antonio de Bellis, & many more!
Looking back, I wish I had allowed more time to spend their cause an hour and a half just wasn’t enough. They have a vast collection of Impressionist paintings from the well-known artist like Monet and even lesser known artists. There is so much to see here I could have spent the whole day. I went to do a project for art history and loved it. At first it’s hard to find your way around, but the staff was extremely helpful and kind. Strangely enough when I found myself getting “lost” looking for a certain genre of paintings, that’s when I found some of my favorites.
If you are hungry, there is a full Cafe Express which if you have never been to one, they are delicious, I didn’t get a chance to eat at this one so I can’t comment on their food or pricing, but they seemed to have a nice set up.
They offer some other extra shows, such as the Manet Exhibit which I planned on going to see, they also have a theater that shows some classics (I was told the Hitchcock silent films this past May was one of their best), & there are also many other daily festivities as well.
