  • I woke up Saturday with every intention of spending the day cleaning my house, but on my morning perusal of twitter I discovered that it was Museum Day and that, for exactly no dollars, I could go enjoy the Mint Museum of Art, which I had been meaning to go to anyway in order to prove to myself that I am not an cultural heathen. It is perhaps not the best compliment that I could give the Mint Museum but I am glad I skimped on my bathroom scrubbing to take advantage of this opportunity. Instead being heavy on the european painting like many museums, though they do have some of that, the Mint dedicates a large portion of its gallery to native peoples of the Americas and their traditional art. The accompanying plaques give enough context to give you an appreciation for the exhibits without becoming overwhelming. Even the space itself lacked the stodgy feeling that would not be unheard of in an art museum. The museum has an interesting gallery dedicated to fashion which currently houses an exhibit on haute couture. They are also hosting an exhibit on the history of platform shoes which added a punch of whimsy between the Central American weaving display and the Chinese court robes. The top floor is largely dedicated to pottery, and I imagine that if that were your thing it would have been very interesting, but it's not really my thing. To top it off, the museum grounds are lovely and the staff I spoke to while "buying" my ticket were knowledgeable and friendly. They do close at 5 on Saturday which is a shame since I feel like I rushed through some of the displays. I suppose I'll just have to return, perhaps after visiting their newly opening uptown location, since admission at one museum affords you admission to the other within 2 days.
