A trip to The Whitney Museum

I’m going to be completely honest and state that I am not a huge fan of museums and do not find it as entertaining as some might. However I found myself at The Whitney museum on a relatively chilly but sunny Saturday and enjoyed it tremendously. The exhibitions were nothing like I had ever seen in the few art museums before. It is very minimal and unique due to the variety of exhibits it contains. The exhibit that I enjoyed the most was one that portrayed the history of protests and it was around the time of the Vietnamese war and America’s interference in it. I think it is a relevant topic since there are people at the moment who are also unhappy with decisions the government is making right now. I learned a lot from all that the museum had to offer and think I just might appreciate the beauty of visiting an art museum a little mote.  I also enjoyed the rooftop the museum had because I thought it was a useful way of making art out of the beautiful skyline and a useful way of utilizing all the space they had. It over looked Chelsea and the High Line. I could have stared at it for hours and as the view was quite mesmerizing. Overall I would return to this museum again to view the future exhibitions and would return for the rooftop for sure.
