The Gugg

Saturday night last weekend, we met up with some friends to check out the Guggenheim museum. It was "donation" night meaning you could pay whatever you wanted instead of the $10-20 they normally charge. We decided to be nice and pay $5 and I'm reeeeeally glad we didn't do anything more. You see, I don't really understand modern art. Mostly it's just creepy. We started at the top of the big spiral...
And slowly made our way down through the terror.
There were a couple of pieces that were interesting, but only once we understood what it was about thanks to the also free! audio guide. I think a lot of the pieces were trying to challenge the traditional view on reality and how you perceive the world around you.

I mostly just thought they were weird or scary.

Lol! I love it! I think it's funny that modern art creeps you out.

Yeeeeeeah, I don't really like modern art either. I just don't "get" it.
