Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. In the beginning‚ we learned the history of this museum. This museum is made up of a private collection from the Thyssen-Bornemisza family‚ and both the privatization and time period make this collection unique. The collection includes many landscapes‚ still lives and genre paintings‚ but not many portraits. The family was extremely wealthy from their success in the industrial world‚ so they were able to purchase a vast amount of artwork. Lastly‚ the museum is located in Madrid

Over the summer I was lucky enough to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington‚ D.C. Although it’s hard to believe‚ the most impactful object I saw in the museum was an old‚ barely visible footprint! Obviously‚ there were numerous important artifacts I saw that day‚ but that footprint helped teach me the importance of always offering as much help as one can give.

November 12‚ 2015 I visited the gallery Lyric Modern created by an exceptional artist named Hal Marcus at El Paso Museum of Art. My first thoughts of visiting a museum were “boring”‚ “unexcited” and I just imagined myself going one work of art to another and describing it as if it was the textbook.

Lyric Modern was an outstanding exhibition‚ I did not only describe each composition
