| - This museum celebrates the life, paintings, films, television shows, and photography of Andy Warhol and is the LARGEST American art museum dedicated to a single artist. However, I have to admit, I'm just not a fan of pop art. Pop art uses popular techniques such as advertising, magazines, and comic books to capture food, household objects, and celebrities.
Advertising art?!? Annoying. I avoid ads when possible.
Celebrity art?!? People are way too obsessed with celebrities already.
My favorite piece is the interactive Silver Clouds exhibit on the floor floor. There are helium filled silver balloons that you get to push around the room. After several floors of being yelled at by museum attendants for not standing at least 3 feet from paintings, this exhibit is a welcome change--that is, until we were yelled at for being too rough with the clouds. ``Gentle!" the girls scolded us.
Overall, the museum is okay. The museum is worth checking out because of how iconic Andy Warhol is, but your enjoyment will really depend on how much you appreciate pop art. Admission is $20.
