From historical to modern, art is something that everyone can identify with in some fashion.  The wonderful thing is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and art is something that can’t be put in a “box”.  This being the case allows anyone with any background to partake in enjoying whatever expression of art suits them.

As most of us already know, art that stands out through time generally is displayed in museums and we wanted to take time to give you a few reasons to spend an hour or 2 observing the contents of these establishments.
