milwaukee art museum

i had the pleasure of going through the milwaukee art museum all alone on my vacation...it was peaceful and beautiful and serene and i got to go at my own pace and incidentally i ended up going through the exhibits backwards...i saw a donald judd and a robert smithson and went crazy and proceeded to be mesmerized by the contemporary sculpture and finally ended up back around in the greek, roman and egyptian art sections at the end...usually you are taught art history in a forward progression and you try to see the way different movements influenced or reacted to each other...this way was interesting to see contemporary first and so on...and a big bonus was that this museum lets you take pictures of their permanent collections as long as you don't use your flash...i took 350 pictures there alone....heaven, i was in art/photographers lovers heaven....plus they have great artists and works that i haven't seen before...oh, you spend your whole life studying these pieces but, to see them in the flesh...i just love travelling.
