Greetings.
I would like this first entry to introduce myself and what this blog is all about.
I am a professional writing grad student and a museum fanatic. Yes, I am a museum groupie (that's me over there adoring the Degas painting). I love them. If I could live in one, I would. I wish I had the forethought to major in Art History and English when I was in undergrad but alas. Now, I adore/review museums. This blog will discuss my museum adventures: past, present and future. It will contain a few typos here and there, a lot of comedy and a lot of images.
I spent a good portion of this summer (Summer 2009) traveling around Massachusetts visiting various museums. I also ventured to D.C. and did the same. I will update this blog often with tons of images. Well, as often as graduate school allows and as often as I feel I can be effective.
I will even link you to the museums I visited so you can see how and why I chose to go there, of course, I will not be that objective. Plus, I can't give directions and most museum sites give wonderful directions to prospective visitors. Also, you can see new exhibits and maybe tell me if I should return to the museums.
I have my favorites and I am not afraid of sharing them. Ahem, there will be a long and glowing review of the RISD museum in Providence, RI. I cannot get enough of their art and layout.
I hope to see this pet project grow as I visit more and more museums.
Adieu!
