Q2 Have you seen a famous work of art in a gallery or museum? What was the experience like?

A2 If you call rocks art, we saw the Hope Diamond at the Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C. #PTTravel

A2 #pttravel 'The Girl with the Pearl Earring' at the Mauritshuis in The Hague. No print, postcard or photograph could ever replace those delicate colours. And, I just about had that floor to myself.

A2 #PTTravel I visited the Louvre a few years back & was able to see Venus De Milo & the Mona Lisa. Although I was glad I able to see them, I wasn’t really that moved by it.

@kate_frankie #PTTravel A2:
Rembrandt’s “Night watch” in the Rijksmusem in Amsterdam was pretty impressive.
But I prefer non-art exhibits, like the Fram expedition ship, the Vasa or Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon-Tiki raft.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I quite enjoyed the Guggenheim in Bilbao. I never really think of myself being interested in art, but there were some really cool installations + the building is incredible #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #Pttravel A2: yeh. Mostly underwhelming. I prefer lesser-known stuff. Like, I'm not saying they're not worth seeing, just that they're no better necessarily than other things in the gallery/museum.
That said, I find many art museums and galleries quite dull.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: Saw Frida Kahlo's "Broken Column" once. After went and sat in a little zocalo/park awhile and just watched, thinking not of much. nothing like seeing an original of one's favorite artist. #pttravel

A2 I actually really like art but I have to be in the mood for it! I usually give myself an art day. I don't always love the pieces that headline the exhibitions and often find lesser known works more moving.
Some Italian examples I appreciated.
