We first went to the Art institude of Chicago because there is a free night on Friday ^_^
Although I am not a "art" person, I don't know much about art, but that does not mean I cannot appreciate art! After nearly two hours wandering in this big collection of art, I am a little lost and so tired. I began to think is it really a good idea to assemble so many great art masterpiece together? At least for viewer, the answer may be no. Let alone the visual fatigue brought by watching so many works at one time, it is not fair for many works since they cannot get the fully appreciation and respect they deserve when showed with so many other great pieces together. And it may also increase the risk for storage, once something like fire or other distroy happans, it will be a disaster for the whole world. During the tour, someone works there told us the story of one of the most valuable pieces in the museum which came from France. she was so pride of the museum for having bought it at a low price when the France didn't notice the value of it and refusing to sell it back to France after ten years at a very high price. I do feel happy for her but I don't agree to her. The painting should be in its own place, its own country where it was created and only where it can emit its charm and magic completely.
We also have a glance at the museum of contemporary art, it is really comfusing...
Now comes my favorate, the Field Museum of Nature History. It is so pity that we only got one and half an hour! Just show some photos here:
