I was supposed to visit to the clue of “Lost symbol” by Dan Brown’s new novel on my culture and language project but I didn’t want to go today. Just I have no feeling to go there today, and I want to see the exhibition about the armor in National Gallery of Art and other place like garden if possible. I decided to take off the nearest place from red line metro because I don‘t want to transfer red line to other line. Rather I prefer to walk.
First place to visit was “Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture whose building is for “Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery.
Luckily I was there on time for guide tour. I had 5 other companies of the tour with a nice white old lady guide. She explained some outstanding works with appealing comments so I understood about the works more easily. However, most of my companies were old and they seemed to be not interested in any art. Even two of them left earlier.
First the guide explained about the building which is divided with two museum, American Art Museum and The National Portrait Gallery, which is connected by Kogod Courtyard that has glass canopy.
Most exciting thing was when I heard about Nam-Jun Baik’s works.
Ha Ha Ha, I told them. He came from my country, Korea.
One of his works has been managed by special care. The guard at his work did not allow me to take a picture. So I havd only this.
I really recommand you to have guide tour when you visit a museum, if you have enough time,
It is more helpful to undersatnd the works than I expect .
