Reflection of Visiting museum

      Since this is going to be the last blog in this class, I am going to try my best to be honest. 
      First of all, the experience in Loyola museum wasn't the best I have. I would call it good.
          To be honest, Loyola museum is almost nothing compared to AIC, I knew it is not a fair competition, but after all. All of you guys are a museum, isn’t it?
        I knew this is the way that Gitte wants, she wants us to visit these “poor kids”, and earn kind of understanding. However, I don't really get the point for for these small museums to drag out a feeble existence. After all, people just won’t come…
        However, we have to say that the Loyola Museum did a pretty good job. As a Jesuit Catholic University, of course they would have a Jesuit Catholic museum. Loyola museum can’t compete with AIC, so they just, only focusing on religious exhibitions, and they did a pretty good job. Although we went at a bad time, only one gallery is open for public, but we still have a chance to visit all kinds of exhibition, which all connect to religion.
        I just don’t get why so many people believe in God. I mean, I get it why they believe it, but why there are SO MANY people?
I don't know how I got so off-topic, let’s focus more on the experience itself.
I and Dee visited there, and there are only two visitors besides us. What’s the difference between these two visitors? Well, I tried my best to explore the shining point of these artworks, and I did say something that is very artistic, such as “the figure is…” “Oh this painting is three-dimensional!”and I told her a story about one of these artworks. On the other hand, after visiting a few rooms, Dee said that” it’s so boring.”
And I agree with her conclusion, but the other two visitors didn’t think so. They gather around with the first artwork they saw, and talk about the historical background, skill, and other stuff which is really professional.

Oh I am jealous of them so much.
