This weekend, the National Gallery has free admission, so Katie and I headed over to their nearest museum--Veletržní Palác, just a few tram stops from the dorm. The museum is basically huge. There are five floors, and they have a ridiculous number of pieces there. Because I am me, most of the art pieces I took pictures of to show you either reminded me of something or just made me laugh. Enjoy.
Outside the musuem
Outdoor art
Inside
Looking down at the ground floor. There was some sort of kids art class going on; they were all making crazy sculptures.
There were also two guys wandering around the museum in plastic jumpsuits playing the violin and the flute.
Cool colors-very large paintbrush
Is that a Modigliani? Yes, John Cusack as Nelson Rockefeller in Cradle Will Rock, it is.
Superman's fortress of solitude
This painting reminds me of the motel where Elvis and his band stayed in the movie Girl Happy. It's a cinematic gem.
Baseball game dot race?
This one is here for genuine art appreciation. Seriously.
How did they get their hands on the model for my future house?
Mucha! Mucha! Mucha!
Framed pieces of refrigerators
Magic carpet
Brings me back to the Minnesota Science Museum
Giant drop of spilled milk
This piece is called "The First Serially Produced Schizophrenia"
Did I tell you the museum was huge?
Yellow Submarine
This spoon has ears.
Another one that I genuinely enjoy.
The anthropologist in me loves that this is essentially an arty version of the footprints at Laetoli.
