Brooklyn Mewzam
There is something about the moment you walk into a museum that is moving. Usually you enter
into some vast room, filled with bustling people and sneak peak art pieces. You feel a heaviness
in your stomach, realizing that theres something going on here thats bigger than yourself. When
I enter a museum, I feel as if I’m entering a new acquaintances home. You’re excited and antsy,
barrages of information leaving you anxious, as well as modest.
The Brooklyn Museum was no different. The moment I walked into that enormous hall on the fourth
floor I became excited. I thought the text message T.V gimmick was down right silly. How did they
not think kids were going to text the most outrageous and immature things to put on the screen?
But anyways, I felt as if I had just begun an adventure. I believe that museums are the greatest when
you walk around alone. I couldn’t wait to finish the recorded assignments so I could go off on
my own. No one looks at a painting the same way, so I see no use in needing a companion. Although
exchanging opinions can be enlightening, I wanted to really focus on the artwork individually, and
try my best to interpret what the image meant to me.
Its pretty funny what ended up catching my eye. Out of the whole experience, I really enjoyed the
room that was set up to resemble a warehouse where they store all the pieces. I thought it was such
a cool way to display the art. In an manner that the general public does not usually have the
opportunity to see. I felt like I was in the famous warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones, filled with
history’s greatest secrets and treasures. Even though the majority of the pieces were house
utilities from the 20th century.
