YOUR FAVORITE MUSEUMS – WHERE TO GO FOR GREAT ART
Posted on October 7, 2011, under Uncategorized.
There is no shortage of great art and beautiful museums in America. Needless to say, if you are planning a trip to Europe, then the many museums in the capitols of the old country should not be missed. They are integral to an understanding of art history. However, great art is everywhere. From local galleries to National Museums, collections of art can be found in any city and in any country. Some of the best art is tucked away at the smaller, lesser-known museums, or in the private collections on ivy-league campuses.
The best collections of art are generally found in metropolitan areas. New York City has a spectacular and awe-inspiring selection of museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim, and The Whitney represent some of the best art museums in the word. If you were to drive up I-95 into Connecticut and Boston, The Yale Museum is small, but has a great collection of Impressionism, and The Museum of Fine Arts and the newly renovated Contemporary Art Museum, in the Bay State, have a phenomenal showcase of American and European Art. From the east coast, take a plane to Paris, Amsterdam and Rome.
