Visiting los angeles county museum of art

A Visit to Los Angeles County Museum of Art I recently happened to visit the Los Angeles County Museum and oh my! The scenery was magnificent. It’s a complex one and it’s the biggest in the western U. S. You can therefore imagine how many we were in that place. The buildings in themselves were wonderful and the lighting and general ambiance inspiring. The complexity of the seven buildings which make it up was breathtaking.
It is not like other museums, in a good way of course. It is not all serious and stuffy. It had this perfect combination of Japanese and modern art, temporary exhibitions which were so excellent and movie nights which I didn’t get a chance for. There were lots of permanent art collections, art galleries and dress exhibitions which I got an opportunity to see Matisse in one.
In one building, the Ahmanson, the modern art collections displayed works that went all the way from back in 1900. I loved most David Hackneys’ works which ranged from paintings which spoke a thousand words about people and all the more to nature. I also was intrigued by the truth in art being everywhere. I discovered this as I moved from one piece of art to another and nature, people, common objects, Paintings, music and films revealed art. This is something I had learnt in class though I had really doubted. This visit ascertained this without a doubt.
I did not however enjoy this one aspect where every piece of art had a placard giving its name though it did not give sufficient information concerning the art and the artist behind it. And can you imagine I had to pay $11 for iced tea and a bun! This was not funny at all. A serious stereotype I had before I visited this place was that it is a cultural wasteland and it made me not even think about visiting it for such a very long time. Through this project, I discovered that this is just but a lie and that contrary to it; this place is so beautiful and is so rich in culture. Am actually planning to visit it again now that I can’t say I explored it to my satisfaction.
