Museums Matter!

In class today there were many presentations, all discussing specific museums around the country and some outside of the U.S. What went through my mind the whole time was the fact that I have never been to most of them. As an artist I think it is important to see the most art that you can, and specifically in museums. I believe this because it gives me historical and contemporary context at the same time. There are so many different museums that house hundreds of different collections. I want to make it a goal to see most of the museums that we learned about today. The Tate, MoMa, Philly, SFMOMA, and the Guggenheim are ones that I know I could visit. To be able to personally view the work in these exhibitions would be phenomenal!
