When we were first informed about going to the Brooklyn Museum, I did not understand how all of the Macaulay kids would be able to fit in one building.  I have never been here before, so I was surprised to see the size of the museum.  When we first walked in, I noticed the wooden figures.  Their immense size definitely stood out the most.

We were then taken to the auditorium with all of the Macaulay kids from each campus, where I was able to learn a lot about art and culture.  We then learned about the actual definition of a museum and artwork.  When we were dismissed from the auditorium, we were free to explore the various exhibits on the different floors.  I went straight to the fifth floor, which was notable for its confusing and interesting artworks.

There were some paintings that stood out that were very detailed and realistic, but the backstory was a little difficult to understand.  Despite this, these two pieces shown below are truly art.  The amount of time and effort put into each piece is clear.

The last exhibit I visited seemed rather interesting. It featured works of art that are not typically showcased in other museums. The nude art had emphasis on certain body parts that are usually overlooked in other pieces.  In addition to this, the human bodies were depicted very differently from how they are normally viewed here.  I still can’t quite put my finger on what looked so different in the works seen on the right of the photo below.

After leaving the museum, I was still wondering who the art appealed to and what could be the meaning or backstory behind each piece.  In the end, most of the work was very impressive and detailed and I was grateful to have the chance to see it.
