DISTINCTIVE ATMOSPHERE of NEVADA MUSEUM OF ART〈ネバダ美術館の独特な空間〉

Whenever I travel I try to go to those local museums as much as possible. Those big one in the city is fun and fancy and you know there are lots of money being spend to run the place. But in those local museums are concentrated on local talented artists, and with the lower budget compare to big city museums, you can tell whether the owners have good taste or not by studying the architecture, colors, works and the way they display in their museum. In that sense, Nevada Museum of Art was excellent despite of the size of museum. (Not too small but not too big) I could tell that every workers cared about their artists and can feel the respect towards it.

Light sculpture "Swell" by Anthony McCall. Just incredible. This one blew my mind. So hard to explain in words, you just have to see it.

Go to the rooftop and you'll see the beautiful overview of Reno.

Of course the gift shops. Unique art books and gift guaranteed.

Wonderful place to visit. Today was specially exotic since it SNOWED! I seems like that happens here a lot but doesn't last long:P

旅行に出かける時はできるだけローカルな美術館に行こうと決めています。大都会の予算たくさんありそうな美術館も豪華で大好きだけど、ローカルアーティスト中心の低予算の美術館はそのなかでもオーナーのセンスの良さでレベルがぐっと変わる気がします。ああそうだよねって所とおっ！という所の差がはっきりでるのです。そういう意味ではこのネバダ美術館はセンスもいいし、従業員もアーティストに対するリスペクトを強く感じるいい美術館だと思いました！空間をかなり大胆に使ったローカルのいい作品がたくさんあって、狭すぎず広すぎず。屋上に上がればリノのキレイな景色。しかもこの日はなんと雪がいきなり横に降ってかなりビックリしました！肌寒い、いい感じがよく似合うところだなぁー。
