On November 12‚ 2015 I visited the gallery Lyric Modern created by an exceptional artist named Hal Marcus at El Paso Museum of Art. My first thoughts of visiting a museum were “boring”‚ “unexcited” and I just imagined myself going one work of art to another and describing it as if it was the textbook.

The British government decided to purchase the sculptures from Lord Elgin at half his investment and exclaimed they would be better cared for by their museum than returning back to Greece.

Ancient artifacts are a means of understanding a culture’s value system‚ their beliefs and their worldview. It is important that these artifacts be preserved as much as possible. The Parthenon is “the greatest of all Greek temples. It was built in the old Doric order‚ even though it was built in the middle of the classical age when the Ionic style was coming into vogue”
