High Museum of Art
Last year, I went to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. It is located on Peachtree ST, near to my home. I met with my friend Joel and together we went to the museum. At the museum’s entry, we paid eight dollars per person, and a man showed us that the main exhibition was Glories of Ancient Egypt. This exhibition was from October 9, of 2004 to January 26, of 2005. Before you go to the exhibition, a woman gives us a tape recorder that you can hear the history about every object exhibited. (You changed tenses --are you going to use past tense or simple present?)It is so interesting because can listen and see objects that evoke the splendor of Egyptian art and funerary practices over a period of 4200 years. In addition, the works of art range in date from third millennium B.C to the 4th century AD, from the formation of the Egyptian sate to the advent of Christianity.
A number of objects in the exhibition derive from this period. The show contains an exceptional fragment of an obelisk belonging to one of the few female pharaohs. In addition, to outstanding examples of New Kingdom sanctuary, relief, and vessels, the exhibition also contains kohl pots, mirrors, and jewelry that was used everyday by ancient Egyptians to beatify them selves (one word). It is amazing when do you think about how they did to created objects to sanctuary and relief(not clear), to coffins, the funerary arts and daily life objects.
On the other hand, you can see another exhibition from an artists to French sub realism such as Monet and Renau. This is a fantastic exhibition which was a great experience for my knowledge and to improve my English. There, I can talk in English with my partner and also everything which I did in the museum was in English. I recommend this place for everyone because it is a perfect opportunity to enjoy and learn a little about interesting themes around art.
