The Museum Of Art The Philbrook Museum - 884 Words

The Philbrook Museum of Art is easily the best museum Tulsa has to offer, and since I have been there before I probably wasn’t going into with a fresh mindset. However, I think the additional knowledge of art I learned through the couple of years in between allowed me to appreciate even more of the art there. I went there with Prof. Trotter and most of the class of art appreciation. I don’t think that most people that go there realize that the museum has such a rich history, and some of the art there is exceptional in my opinion. We went there November 6th, it was a sunny Friday, and I was able to get off work so it made the visit even more fun.

I went to the Philbrook not only to make sure I was able to write this essay, but because I truly love art throughout history. I have learned a lot about art, history, and even life from the last time I was at the Philbrook, and this time around I came out with great appreciation for the Italian Renaissance Revival Style that was used throughout. My first go around the formal gardens were closed for whatever reason, so I never got to see it. This is why my favorite architecture would have to be the garden. When Prof. Trotter explained to us that the pond was setup to ensure a reflection of the tempietto or museum would always be seen I thought it was pure genius.
