As soon as you enter the Museum of Death Treasures you are greeted by someone and you are led in to the check-in booth of the museum. The room is dingy‚ dark and airy and divided into different sections‚ it is very dimly lit and you can feel a cool breeze as you go deeper inside. The tiles of the ceiling are brown that have gray squares on them and every couple of tiles has a sprinkler. At the far end of the room‚ you can see that there is a fire which is lighted in the fireplace. Close to the fireplace

After visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts‚ I will write about four art works. The first one is called Salome Receiving the Head of St. John the Baptist by Andrea Solario. The work is very colorful‚ and it shows chiaroscuro with the dark background and light on the faces of Salome and John the Baptist. The focal point is on John’s head. This is one of Solario’s most notable works‚ and the figure style is influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci. The story behind the painting is that Herodias had a quarrel

A group of us Arts and Music students used the day on Wednesday to go into the city to visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It was a cold‚ breezy day so we were all bundled up in jackets and hats.

The museum was an elegant‚ beautiful building made of what looked to be marble; not the big‚ brick monstrosity I had expected. Once we walked into the museum‚ it was even more elegant on the inside

Nostalgic Inspiration Being a lifetime art enthusiast‚ I spent the majority of my San Francisco trip visiting the best museums they had to offer. All of them inspired me in one way or another but only one of them in particular actually motivated me to continue to become a better artist. The Cartoon Art Museum‚ or CAM‚ brightly stood out among the rest because at this museum I was surrounded by the icons of my childhood that originally inspired me to pursue an art career. My passion for my work was rekindled

The object that I chose to study is a board for the game of “Pegs and Holes‚” which I found at the Museum of Fine Arts. The game board dates to 2000-1500 C.E. and is from the Levant region in the Near East. The object itself is a stone board with multiple holes carved into the top. The pegs seen in the museum are reproductions of what would have originally been ivory pieces. Played by two people‚ the game’s objective seems to have been for a player to race their pegs through the holes and seize
