The National Gallery

Visiting the National Gallery museum is extremely overwhelming because there are millions of paintings and so many rooms that it seemed like you could be in there for days. I really enjoyed the layout of the museum because it was not hard to find my way around. The time periods were easily distinguishable and you didnt have to go through the whole museum to find the next one which was nice. My favourite section of the National Gallery Museum was the 18th-20th century. I particularly enjoyed the artist Degas section from the 1900's. The paintings of his that interested me the most were "Ballet Dancers" and "Three Dancers in Violet Tutus" because dancing was his lifelike obsession to paint. I also really enjoyed his painting called "Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando." This was an acrobat who caused a big sensation in Paris. Degas painted her suspended from the rafters of a ceiling with the rope clenched in her teeth which was very cool. I thoroughly enjoyed the museum and learning about each of the time periods, artists and their paintings.
