How to combine the idea of history and art?
For me, the main reason why I enjoy visiting both art and history museum is because I think through the objects and artwork that are exhibited in the room, I am able to understand the owners’ or the artists’ background and their time period, which is a interesting experience and thought process.
I went to the British Museum 6 years ago, it was a memorable trip and I really wanted to visit again. This is because I was impressed by the ancient Egypt section. I think it is because I really enjoy listening to the history of ancient Egypt, it is a mysterious and magical world for me.
Since then I am more interested in museum, it is fascinating that people now days are able to use those objects to speak about a period of time that is totally different from us.
by Anthony van Dyck In National Gallery London, I was impressed by the texture and the style of the clothing.
Later on I started to study art in school, and it was the time when I began to know more about the artists around the world and wanted to visit the art museum. I think the artworks in the art museum shares the similar concept as the historical objects in the museum, because the traditional artworks also usually present the personal story and sometimes the historical background that the artist was lived in. Not only for those artworks from the olden days, I love to understand the stories behind every artworks and how the artists see the world.
Some artworks and objects may also give the audience an opportunity to make a personal connection, which when looking at it, it will remind me of some memories or my own stories.
