  • I was actually pretty excited upon discovering there was an art museum on the West side of town, and not all forms of city entertainment has to be regulated around the Strip area. Some may find the distance from the Strip a disappointment. I, however, did not. So why the low review? Were the ticket people rude? No. Were the prices ridiculously high? No. There are two glaring problems with the place, which I can only hope have been resolved since my last visit. Picture this: It's a small museum, 4-5 average sized rooms at the most. Due to the small size of the rooms, there's not a lot of artwork there. Not that the quality of art was bad. I actually found some of the pieces interesting. But I couldn't really get into it or enjoy it. Why is this? Imagine, if you will, some security guard/attendant that follows you from room to room, watching your every move. You don't feel like they are just making themselves available if you have any questions about the pieces. It feels more like someone situating themselves at the back of the room and staring at the back of your head the whole time. For the life of me, I simply couldn't not get into the work because someone was watching me the whole time. When we became aware of this, we tested the theory to see if it was paranoia or was this actually happening. To our relief/dismay it was the latter. With the mood shot, we decided to at least get some enjoyment out of it by walking from one room to the next, and turning around and going back into the original room. This resulted in the all too familiar footsteps following where we went, a quick stop, and hurried footsteps to return back to the room where we actually were to continue watching us. I don't make it a practice to shove sculptures or paintings into my pockets when I visit a museum, and I don't appreciate being made to feel like I'm a potential thief or vandal. Either the attendant needs to take the initiative to walk up, introduce themselves, offer to answer any questions, and then walk a respectful distance away without shadowing every movement. That, or provide a pamphlet about the showcased works that can answer any artist and subject questions. It's an interesting experience if you've never experienced being stalked in a very small 4-5 room museum. Sorry, but the attendant totally killed the experience for me.
