Since all student go to museums for free, I could not miss this great opportunity. During my visits to various museums I have seen many different exhibitions, some of which were shocking, while others were definitely pleasant to my taste. And this time I’ve decided to visit Whitney Museum, where I’ve been a few times before. The most memorable exhibition I have seen was the placement of red cubes on the balcony. And the reason why I like it so much is that each next cube becomes more and more transparent. Plus, these cubes really stand out on the pictures. The new exhibition of beach and straw fences that they have displayed, reminded me of my home country. I have used to go to vacations, where beaches would have very similar structure. There my nostalgia devoured me completely. What was also fun to see is that they had a pool table right near the beach. What an interesting decision!
What I liked there is that on the upper floors they have vast array of different pictures. And I found some of my favorite painters like J. Pollock and E. Hopper. I was wandering around and found so many great artists that inspired me and in some cases made me change my ideas on art.
Even though Whitney museum does have a variety of pleasant and light presentations, it is also very scary and alarming place. Bitten and bloody parts of human body are displayed near the main staircase, empty dark rooms with disturbing content, and the whole atmosphere seems very heavy even though the space is light and spacious.
Despite this, I really enjoyed my experience at Whitney museum and will definitely visit it again in the future.
