I would first like to say that this museum is beyond incredible. Not only is it diverse in culture but the way it is shown in amazing. You have paintings of Picasso while also having in the same room artifacts of Egypt. I really enjoy hot technologically avdvanced this museum is, having very old artifacts but still including our new technology. My favorite part of the museum is the old 18th century or things around this time that they have here. It is incredible to see things like on of the maps first made around the 1600's. This is an amazing experience!
It is quite amazing how the juxtapositions that suggest new relationships, deceive the looker into new perceptions. Well Brooklyn for giving us a new way to look at the idea of museums.
While the items initially seem so at odds with each other, they are all interconnected in a thoughtful way. The process of discovering those relationships was as enjoyable as the artworks themselves. Great exhibit!
What do you think about the Connecting Cultures: A World in Brooklyn exhibit?
