<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 28178, member: 37&quot;]Armando,</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to go. I had never been to an art museum until I was an adult and really didn&#039;t have much appreciation for art. My first trip to the Art Institute in Chicago changed my life. You really can not appreciate most art from prints or photographs. I had no appreciation of non-representational art until I went. I never saw the big deal about Picasso until I stood in front of one. </p><p><br /></p><p>I go to the Art Institute at least once a year now. It is really one of the finest art museums in the world. I make a point of visiting art museums big and small wherever I go. This often involves dragging people with me that are less than enthusiastic. They always come away with at least some appreciation of the venture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Probably my biggest <i>aha</i> moment was stumbling upon Salvador Dali&#039;s <i>The Sacrament of the Last Supper</i>. It hangs in a stairwell in the National Gallery in Washington DC. and was so unexpected there. I have always wondered if the placement there was intentional or if it was the only place they had for it ....... LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
