However‚ looking back on my experience‚ visiting such a place is something you should do alone because it allows you to appreciate all of the pieces of art without the limitations of bringing someone along with you. I titled this “A Vacation in the Metropolitan Museum of Art” because although we only stayed for a few hours

This painting is the oldest in the Appleton Museum often referred to by the guards as The Appleton Mona. Some say the portrait was painted the same time as the Mona Lisa. Even though there is

The African-American Museum of Long Island did a great job at presenting some of the many African-American contributions to society. In addition
