When visiting a museum on a whim, what is the best way to decide what works to see?
Spend time looking at what you want to look at. This, unfortunately, is easier said than done. There are a lot of things in museums that announce a sense of importance and demand attention. In fact, everything in the museum is presented as significant and valuable. In many respects this is true and we should be grateful to museums for protecting, preserving and presenting art and objects from a broad range of time and place. That said, it can be intimidating to have a personal experience within the scope and seriousness of the mission of the museum. My advice is to not attempt to compete with the museum or gallery for a sense of command of the material. You are the guerrilla curator of your own revolutionary collection. Your mission will be clarified and focused as you look more and more. Your collection will be as big and diverse as you wish and will reflect your identity and be all the more precious for this. Art galleries can be found in most metropolitan cities. What’s the best way
