I had such an interesting time at the Rijks museum today. Other than the museum with the cool flower art hanging on the ceiling this was my favorite museum.The building itself was extraordinary. The detail on the walls was art in its self. We only had time to see a few paintings in the museum with the tour guide and then we got to Explore the rest of the art by ourselves.

Julian, Julie and I really enjoyed trying to figure out what the artist was telling us through the painting with out looking at the title. While we couldn’t read the title card any way because of the language barrier our concepts were really close sometimes and sometimes very far off when we would ask someone for the real meaning.

My favorite painting in the museum that day was The Fall of Man by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem. I liked this painting because of the lines he made with Adam and Eve’s bodies. Most people do not stand like that and I thought the curves were so interesting Julian and I recreated it.

After we left the Rijks Museum we went to look through the Van Gough museum which was if not my favorite, second favorite tour. Although the tour was quite depressing because Vincient was a depressed man I loved it. Overall it was a fun day.
