MAMbo: Trip to Bologna

This trip was the first time I had left Florence since we arrived, so I thought it was great to see a new place, and one that didn't have quite so many tourists. The museum had a lot of interesting work and the guide was very knowledgeable. As a personal preference, however, I enjoy wandering the museum freely and being able to choose which pieces I would like to spend more time on. I think my favorite piece was the group of clouds set on top of mirrors; the way that it was lit was amazing and because of the high ceilings in the room it was convincing when looking down in the mirror. Another piece I thought was interesting was the car that was made up of some type of glass, I can't remember what specific material she said it was. I also thought that the arrangement of flowers was beautiful as well as the way it looked from the reflection in the plaque on the wall. The John Cage exhibit was fun to see, especially the piano that had more than 200 sounds varying from key to key. The main part I can say was not at all interesting to me were the videos. With pieces like that I just can't see the artistic standpoint, it was basically like staring at the same picture for 5 minutes.
