A Visit to the Booth Western Art Museum

 

I was passing through Cartersville, Georgia the other day and just had to stop at my favorite art museum, the Booth Western Art Museum, for a little inspiration.

Hunter Museum of Art

 

I went to the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee last Sunday for some inspiration and as usual, I wasn’t let down. The museum has an excellent collection of American art that will inspire anyone. The museum’s focus on American art from the Colonial period to the present day gives a great overview of how art has changed and evolved in its expression. It seems the more complicated the world becomes the simpler art’s interpretation becomes of its affairs.

 

The museum is located in a grand old mansion built in classic revival style and a contemporary building that connects the past with the present. Both buildings will intrigue you as much as the art they hold.

 

Go to the Hunter Museum looking for inspiration and you’ll find it through movies, books, web sites and interactive exhibits. I was really impressed with the great number of rooms for reading and contemplation.
