Lakeview Museum Cultural Opportunity #1

This weekend on Saturday I went to Lakeview Museum. I saw the art gallery and the Memory Exhibit. I actually needed to see the Memory Exhibit for my Psychology class and so I thought it was a great opportunity to see the art gallery at well. When I got there, I asked the receptionist what the theme of the gallery was. Her reaction was quite funny. She looked at me and said that she wasn’t sure but what she did come up with was that the collection of items that was out was all owned by Lakeview. That was the only commonality she was able to discover. I went ahead and looked around and the items I found actually caught my attention. The center piece that was in the Museum was about 5 chairs. Each of them was different and some looked more modern and others were more old-fashioned. There was 1 painting that stuck out in my mind and it was one of an astronaut. It was so lifelike and detailed. The space shuttle in the background was really neat! Another piece that was my favorite was a photograph and it was taken in a forest. The light was coming through the trees in an amazing pattern and I think what caught my attention so much was that it was black and white. Then there were a couple of paintings that were just abstract designs and those were okay. My favorite part was probably the chairs because they were something that I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t think that something as simple as a chair to be known as a piece of art. It was nice that the gallery wasn’t themed because I was able to see a variety of things. What I saw, I actually enjoyed and it was really neat to go visit and do something new!
