Norton Simon is a delightful museum of culture and art that makes Pasadena a great place to go, the Rodin sculpture garden near the front door is nice, Norton Simon Museum is the best of the best, you can't find a collection of celebrities like this one anywhere else the Magician
The first time I came here, north Simon museum, just in time for the exhibition here, there are Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Raphael............ various works of big coffee, the backyard environment is also good.
Visited the norton simon Museum, I would highly recommend it, this is a small and fine art gallery, it basically covers the history of Western art, and each painting is a fine work of Mr. Simon's careful selection, you can enjoy and understand the entire history of Western art in a small space, plus few visitors, The whole process of looking at the painting is very pleasant!
What is the first motivation to drive people to the museum? It is the approaching paper due. Since the history of modern art, it feels more like 19th-century French artists than it did in the Renaissance, and it's really hard to read and understand a painting. "I paint mine, and you can't guess what I paint." Isn't that the ultimate Modern art idea?
In terms of size, it belongs to a small and medium museum, but don't be blinded by this. It may have the best collections of different artistic styles, whether it is oil painting, watercolor, ink painting, stone carving, marble carving or wood carving, you will see.
Visit the Norton Simon Museum. The paintings here are boutique, treasured like clouds, and you can enjoy yourself without knowing art. Tickets $20, parking is free, package tours, you can take pictures, close the flash! !
