190. Museum: Take some time to visit a nearby museum with your journal. Write about one of the pieces that speaks to you.
I was thoroughly impressed by the National Gallery of Victoria. There were traditional exhibits of e.g. Asian art and 17c furniture, but in many of these traditional exhibits, there would be a modern work integrated into the room. Although it was a bit jarring, I think it added to the experience.
There were many large scale audio/visual installations that pushed what I’ve come to know museums to encompass. Forward-thinking expressions that caused me excitement in the re-imagining of art.
I decided to bypass any exhibit that didn’t interest me so I could spend 14 minutes on any one exhibit if I wanted. Giving myself that permission was freeing and I enjoyed this museum immensely.
