Going into the museum, I instantly noticed how everything was laid out. It is not a crowded space, and the bigger the piece, the more wall space it had around it. Some works even had entire walls dedicated to them, as not the distract the viewer with too many things going on at once. The wide open spaces allow for people to walk in whichever direction they want, or to readjust your position so you can further appreciate the work at another angle. Lighting was all focused on the works. There were very few bright lights to illuminate the rest of the rooms, the majority of bright lights were spotlights on the works, so not to distract viewers from anything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When going between exhibits, one feature I recognized were the walls were painted or art was installed in places where the background color enhanced the art as a whole. Certain displays did better with darker or more colorful walls, while others were better in lighter colors and more natural light. It was clear that a lot of thought and time went into installing these displays, so that the works presented themselves the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
