A visit to the Broad Museum~

Hello Everyone~ There is a museum that everyone in LA has been going to. Better yet, it's free! I've been wanting to go for awhile and I got the opportunity to do so~ Sad thing is however, that I have to write an essay about my experience TT^TT Nevertheless, it was a trip to a museum and that makes up for everything!




The whole museum has to do with contemporary art. This huge pile of dishes reminded me of the ones back home...>_>

Because it is free, there was a line that stretched a little around the corner of the museum. It didn't take too long to get in but it took awhile.





There were a few adult paintings or pieces in the museum that showed nudity or subtly depictions of sexual notions. These pieces were shown in a modern way unlike the other ones I have seen in other art museums.



This one struck a cord in me. It was very psychological and emotional.





The most famous piece I've seen in the Los Angeles snapstory countless of times. It was nice seeing it up close at last! ^^




Huge versions of a balloon animal/object~




This room was isolated in a corner. It had a lot of art about African American slaves in America. Some pieces were very disturbing and depicted events that happened in the past. I felt like it was very powerful and unique by the way the artist brought it to life.



This one was another powerful one. I was able to relate to this one into my own perspective.




It seemed that the museum only had two actual floors that displayed art. I regret not going into the light room but I heard that I needed to make reservations before hand in order to get in TT^TT






Afterwards, we went to Korea town to eat at CottonHi! An ice cream place that serves fresh ice cream with cotton candy on top! Never had ice cream like that, so we decided to try it out~



I got the regular milk flavor ice cream with strawberry cotton candy on top~ Some cute lucky charm marshmallows were also put on the cotton candy that gave it a cute touch~

This was a nice little trip~ I was finally able to visit two places that I've been wanting to go in LA. Now..it is time to write that paper haha^^

Goodnight everyone~

Free Museum Day!~

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!~


In January, all museums in LA were free! Me and my family decided to go to the Natural History Museum.



There were long lines but we went in very quickly! Once we were inside, we received a stamp on our hand so we can get out or come in throughout the day. 



I haven't been to this museum for so long! It was exciting to go back and visit!


This was really gross but cool at the same time! It was so long!!! Imagine swimming next to this in the ocean! I would die hahah.



After checking that out, we went to the mineral area. Me and my family saw many beautiful rock formations and even pieces of stone from space! There was this jewel vault and I saw this! Opal is my favorite stone! This was a dream come true for me! Look at all that jewelry! I want it! TT^TT


Pink!~



This was so amazing to see! I was mesmerized by the thought on how old it was!



A new cafe opened up in the museum and we decided to have a taste! It was a little difficult to find the cafe but we finally did. I got this delicious sandwich!







We went to an area that had many beautiful and intricate shells~ This one is the biggest one we saw! My mother was so amazed!


I had to take a picture of this. So supposedly this is where the heart went after the Aztecs ripped it out from their human sacrifices. Savage.




Anyways, the thing that sucked was that we had to rush it because I was going to work afterwards TT^TT But at least we were able to see almost all of the museum!

 This is what I bought when I went to the museum store! Two bookmarks, a natural history museum pen and a lollipop with a real cricket in it. Every time I go to a museum, I need to buy something from there!

And yes, I ate the cricket lollipop. I was screaming the whole time when I was biting into it. After I ate everything except the head, I gave it to my father to eat. I just couldn't do it hahah. Maybe next time I'll be able to eat the whole thing. I wanted to try the ones that were like chips. They had all types of seasonings on them! But for now...maybe not..I need to build up more courage for that.

I hope everyone is having a great Monday. I just made and had a Peep shake that I read on a website and now I regret it. It was so sugar packed I'm still trying to calm down from all that sugar hahah. It was too much sugar for me. Anyways have a wonderful day and take care yall~
