National Gallery




The National Gallery in London is not only beautiful on the inside, but it is also beautiful from the outside.  It is the perfect example of both private and public art.  A lot of museums today do not have an entrance fee, so does that mean that its contents are private or public art?  The inside of the museum is filled with a lot of art.  The walls are hardly bare, and the décor is hardly unadorned.  I remember not focusing solely on the art but on the building as a whole.  There was so much to take in that I find it difficult to even recall my favorite things about the museum.  So I am faced with the question: is it better for a museum to possess a lot-possibly too much or for a museum to possess a little-leaving the viewer wanting more?
