Over spring break, I got the chance to go to Philadelphia on an art trip. This was one of the best trips ever! We went to multiple museums including the Rodin Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Barnes Collection. Out of these three, the Barnes collection was by far my favorite. I have never seen art arranged like how it was and the fact that it looked like Barnes' house on the inside made it even more special. We also walked part of the Mural Mile while we were there. Although they were interesting, I did not like them as much as I liked the murals here in Richmond. Most of them looked relatively the same and depicted almost historical scenes or people. Another great part of the trip were the Magic Gardens! The Magic Gardens are a collection of buildings and structures that are completely mosaiced. I do not think I have seen art that is more time-intensive than this and it was incredible to see so many years of art all in one place. The artist, Isaiah Zagar, is my idol.
