Artsy Artsy Artsy Art

Museum of the North. My favorite place in the world.

The building ITSELF is a gorgeous work of art. This was probably the best field trip ever. Especially because it's art. I love art in all forms.

I loved learning the background stories about the paintings; But what I couldn't stop admiring was the building. The walls were curved and twisted. At a certain spot The windows were aligned with the curved wall so the sunlight came in and permeated the room not only with sunlight, but made a beautiful work of art. By nature.

Also, one of my favorite parts was called The Room Where You Go To Listen. It was a smallish-mediumish sized room. In the center of it was a bench. What you would sound like a group of about 12 people singing "ahhhhhh," but their voices had a touch of what sounded like gongs. But the coolest part about all of it was that the sound was not recorded. If you heard a bump of stutter in the music it was the city of Fairbanks having a slight, well, small and short earthquake. In the front of the room was a wall that changed colors depending on the time of day. When I saw it - about 9:00 to 10:00am - it was a soft pink and orange, with almost a touch of purple and blue.
