To be completely honest, we have had no previous experience with art and had no idea of what to expect at the museum. However, we were blown away just by the structure of the museum. It was beautiful and looked so majestic. Our favorite piece of art was Portrait of a Family on the Terrace, which showed the aristocratic lifestyle of a Dutch family in 1670. Although they were depicted as elite through their clothes and environment, their emotional attachment to each other was very weak as the family members were not seated near each other or emotionally attached. They looked distant from each other. As we continued to explore the museum, we began to look at the paintings to find a deeper meaning behind them all. We had a pleasant time at the museum and look forward to going to many more.
