This experience challenged my previous ideas about museums. Before I came, I thought that just looking at everything would be remarkably boring. However, I was able to appreciate the depth of what I found. I appreciated the ancient Egyptians relics that were thousands of years old. I recognized that real people spent time making those, that these objects are pieces of art history. I also liked looking through the American art section with subjects and mediums that made me not just look at them but see them. Overall I enjoyed the museum. I would encourage other Macaulay students to visit different museums and see new art.
