My experience at the Museum of Contemporary Photography was great. The museum consisted of three different levels that were available for viewing. The first level had a receptionist area to the left as you first walk in. They want you to check your things in if you have items with you so that you don’t destroy any of the art.

I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th‚ a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum.

I have also gained more experience‚ back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now‚ I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush
