How to Visit an Art Museum
When you wander through a museum, at every turn you’re brought face to face with a fresh way of seeing the world. In How to Visit an Art Museum, produced at The Art Institute of Chicago, the museum setting becomes a place where exciting personal discoveries lie around every corner.
One moment you are on an island in the River Seine on a lazy Sunday afternoon and the next in the tiny, sun-drenched bedroom at Arles where Van Gogh painted. Or in the land of the giants, beneath a towering clothespin by Claes Oldenberg. You might even find yourself floating high about the clouds in Georgia O’Keefe’s luminous azure sky.
Jarred out of our usual way of viewing things, for a time we inhabit another person’s experience as we journey into the world of the artist’s imagination.
“This video is as fascinating and lovely as a visit to any art museum. An excellent program; every school and library should have a copy.”
