"Nerd" is the Word

The Throne Room (Chinese Collection)

     It’s the weekend! Time to party! And when I say “party” what I really mean is cram for tests and eat an entire chocolate cake on my own. And truthfully, between blogging, school, and work, I don’t have much of a life beyond sitting on the floor with my cat. I’m kidding of course. I’m not that mundane. Sometimes I like to sit on the floor with my cat and read books about art while listening to Strauss on repeat. I like to live life on the wild side. I’m a bit of a rebel. My point? There really isn’t one. Other than I don’t get out enough, and that needs to be remedied. 

I said all that to say that I did, in fact, get a chance to visit the museum at my university the other day. My sister and I had a lovely time walking around and taking photos. I thought I would share some of the shots I got of the art of China, Korea, and Japan. I have a very keen interest in culture; particularly Asian culture since I have family members who are currently living in Tokyo, and I am obsessed with Korean boy bands (not kidding). I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this collection, because it is beautifully displayed and maintained. I am quite the nerd when it comes to art, as you may have noticed, so here are some details of this exquisite exhibition! *The last photo is of a drawing done by a 5th grader from a local elementary school. It is titled, "The World is One." Children are capable of such profound an inspiring thoughts. It's truly amazing.
