Description
...Remember your first trip to an art museum? I am sure the children on the right will remember this day for a lifetime.
Zoom worthy for the Corinthian and Ionic Greek marble columns.
This scene in a large entrance hall of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City made me think fondly of my maternal grandmother. She introduced me to the great museums of New York City when I was a boy about the same age as these school children.
My favorites were the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History.
Where and who introduced you to art and history?

impressive interior! I've drawed my whole life, but my first artimpression came after the big war, when they told us about the hidden pantings, to protect them from the germans. RS

I should need to write a short novel to answer your question, Bill! A superb pic: I miss this part of my job as an art teacher, but not enough to come out of retirement!! Those pillars are 'something else', as they say!

Oh yeah, I remember it... we've seen lots of ancient gold, ancient weaponry and lots and lots of interesting things. Probably due to that trip, I'd started to love history... Excellent shot, great view!

Er! No! To be honest, my trips were to, as you'd expect, Science Museum, London, Natural History Museum London & Imperial War Museum.... those were my first memories.. The only art museum I have ever been to was one of Military painting (lol), up in Leeds I believe... I think there's a word for me! LOL.... But, I love the columns... These make a wonderful picture and I DO appreciate good architecture.. Good shot.. Rob

I can just imagine the wonder of those kids walking into that entrance hall. It's pretty overwhelming even for us 'big kids.' Those columns are amazing, and the light in this hall has always made me want to just shoot it from every possible angle. Great photo, Bill!

Beautiful building. It is amazing visiting the Natural History Museum in London, you can spend days in there. As to art, never liked it at school as I couldn't do it, not an arty bone in my body :o)

My dad use to take one of his days of during the week, and he would take us everywhere, the beaches the zoo,and one place he took us was to all the museums in Los Angeles, so yes I remember it all well, wonderful memories. Also went to them on school field trips.. Nice work, have a great weekend.

I remember vividly my first time in a museum in Los Angeles and visiting the Egyptian mummy exhibit; to me it smelled ancient, in a really interesting and almost frightening way, even though it was behind glass. This shot is excellent, I love those marble pillars--I could spend a lot of time just shooting them!

Very beautiful capture

Great shot, bill. I really don't recall who instilled the love of art in me. My father was a reader and I've inherited that trait. I think I drifted into photography during my Navy career - seeing some many places and wanting to remember them. Bought a 35mm SLR on my first visit to Japan.

You've opened a floodgate of memories here, Bill, and what a great thing!! Believe it or not, my first visit to a real museum was just two years ago--the High Museum in Atlanta. One of my best and oldest friends took me. I was literally moved to tears by some of the art I saw. It simply whet my appetite for more.

Such a fine shot indeed. Nobody did. I was never in an art Museum as a child. But my mom painted and from there, I got my interess for art.
