Last Saturday, January 27 I went to
The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, MD.
The art works in the museum were so great.
I liked the diversity and the range of the collections,
spanning some 55 centuries from ancient Egyptian art to late 19th century European paintings and decorative objects.
Before I entered the museum, the first thing that I noticed was
the big sign written "Admission Free,"
and also even from the pamphlet it was stressed.
Some museums are free admission for everyone,
like The Walthers Art Museum, but some are not.
How do these can exist? What is the difference between
two museums? What makes them to charge the admission fee?
In a confusion, these questions kept popping up in head.
As it says from the first reading "The Use of the Forms,"
we are so sensitive at the production of capital which is so called 'art.'
It was a sorry experience from the Walthers Art museum.
