The museum

My experience at Prague is recent visit to the museum. I went to the national museum here at Prague that boasts modern paintings, sculptures, and other works. There are, about four floors with sky-high ceilings and an open middle corridor that reminds me of Bobst. Call me nostalgic, but everything I see is eventually compared to with places in New York. Similarly, the museum reminded me of the Guggenheim museum except that the museum was more rigid and rectangular, of course. The museum also had a semblance of the MoMa because of the large open spaces and large white walls that juxtapose with the colorful artwork. I enjoyed the museum because regardless of the different country and culture , the same rules still apply to the viewers at the museum: No running, no flash, and security guards lurking at every corner. Also, I enjoyed being able to interpret and hopefully correctly understand the meaning behind and art piece. Though I do not speak Czech, I felt engaged to each art piece regardless of cultural barries that do however effect me outside of the museum. But inside of the museum. everything was subject to any and all interpretations. There was a particular art world that struck out at me from the very beginning. Near the entrance there is a copy of one of brokoff's bronze sculptures. It stands maybe at about 7 feet tall and has an air of grandeur and superiority. The face does not even face down at you, but rather away and he seems to be protecting himself or maybe shielding hilmself away from something. His gesture suggests a rough and masculine motion that can be interpreted as either fear or triumph. The bronze statue is appealing because of its dark and intimidating impression. Other than that, I found it interesting to see the sculpture at the front of the museum, acting as the protector or the host of the museum intimidating visitors from the very start. My experience at the museum was very enjoyable and it is my favorite museum here at Prague. It is a very modern museum, barely reflecting any signs of Czech culture. Even the building sticks out like a sore thumb in the neighborhood surrounded by gothic and buildings. The museum is the most rigid and modern building on that street. At first glance the museum could even be mistaken as some corporate building. But fortunately, it is a museum which houses many great works of art.
