I hate going out of town. There’s nothing to do, your just siting on you butt, and eventually it starts to get numb; you’re just bored for hours.

The Smithsonian museums present the discovery of new knowledge and preserve our history for the public. The Natural History Museum shows our fascinating world that surrounds us and our place in it.

Martin Puryear’s Ladder for Booker T. Washington (1996) is an iconic work of art. The sculpture, made of ash and maple wood, resembles a near-endless, sinuous ladder due to the artistic deployment of forced perspective. The distance between the rungs begin at an 11 and 3/4th inches wide at the bottom, and slowly diminishes as you near the top, their span being a miniscule 1 and 1/4th inches apart at its peak. The subject in matter when referring to Puryear’s Ladder is quite fascinating to observe

Going to a museum was always something that I had wanted to do, but not knowing much about art made me hesitant. The museum that I chose to attend for this project was the Tampa Museum of Art.
