<p>[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 7471445, member: 108985"]When I went to the Brittish Museum to see the Partheon Freeze, I was disappointed by the quality of the art. The surfaces are not what one would expect if they've seen similarly aged art, such as in the Prado, and, to me, they were otherwise uninspiring. They are not designed to be seen up close, but from up high. I suppose I was underwhelmed by revolutionary technique of the art. Normally, when I see an exhibit like that, I try to photograph it, but the collection itself is extensive, and not all of it is great. I ended up taking a video of the exhibit itself. Overall, I just don't this it is the most enjoyable experience one can have at a museum (for that see the Kroller-Muller Museum in the Netherlands). It is sad the hear that the statues were mistreated at museums. It is actually remarkable how often museums damage art. We have learned a great deal about this since WWII, and hopefully don't repeat historical errors. The cleaning of the Sixtine Chapel put of a firestorm of criticism.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
