In all honesty, I was not that excited to go to this museum. Was I pleasantly surprised! I was awestruck at the items I saw. I have a new favorite artist, Thomas Eakins. His paintings are so exquisite. He shows such detail and emotion. I saw things today that I would never have the opportunity to see at Colorado. I was so moved by it all.
The wing with the armor was also breath taking. I have never laid my eyes on anything so … Renaissance! I know it was pre-Revolutionary War time, but it was exciting to see, none the less.Our guide at the Art Museum was wonderful. She knew the appropriate items to spend time showing us. She didn’t labor over the items she found to be her favorite. She explained the history of the museum and some interesting information, but didn’t overdue it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing pace that was set today.
