I visited 2 museums; The National Gallery of Art that was divided into two section, the West Building & the East Wing. The other museum was the National Museum of African Art.
The layout of my power-point presentation not only depicts the circulation order of my visit, with the West Building first, leading to the East Wing, and finally to the National Museum of African Art, but it also captures what I found most fascinating in the spaces, or the actual space itself.
In the West Building of the National Gallery of Art, the Rotunda structure stood out in my mind the most, with its replica dome. The space it capture in there seems to extend far into the space of the building. When I moved towards the East Wing, the grand scale of the area was magnificent. The space itself was breath taking. I especially enjoyed the openness of the space, along with it's play of color pieces that darts your eyes from one area to the next. But a certain circulation pattern also form up this huge space: The many stairway levels of the space, the actual levels themselves, and the hidden spaces/room that each levels branch off from. The last place was the African Art Museum, where I found the Bololo art piece to be most intriguing. The organic space occupied the space of the exhibition in a way that just completely stood out from the rest as you first enter into the room.
Overall, I quite enjoy my visit to all the Museums in D.C.
