Appreciate all, even what you don't understand.

Jenny asked "Do you like going to art museums? A lot of people think it is utterly boring, how about you?"

Yes! I have always loved going to art museums.  My whole family are those people who think art is boring- yet I'm in love with it.  It's the best way I can express myself, and most of the times I don't even understand it.

In my life, I have been lucky enough to go to art museums in Washington DC, Richmond VA, San Diego CA, Tampa FL, and several museums in Spain- all of which I was in heaven. 

My favorite two museums were the Museo Del Prado in Madrid, and the Picasso Museum in Spain.  I easily spend a full day in Museo Del Prado without noticing it; I fell in love with art all over again!  Though my sister generally hates art, she managed to find a few pieces that she liked and even a few that she had seen before- it was a great bonding experience for the both of us.

The picture in the post is of the Museo Del Prado.  Inside and out it has beautiful art: sketches, paintings, sculptures, and things I don't even know what to call them.  But the Prado was by far my favorite museum I have visited.

Do you think appreciation for things such as art come from understanding them?
