Today I'll show the back of the museum and the north side.
Most back entrances are neglected and rather unattractive. Not so with this museum. Large squares make the back walls eye catching.
On the north side they have chosen to cover with local street scenes from the past.
This flag has been seen all over Canada this summer to mark our 150th anniversary.
It's nice that they didn't leave out the back end of the museum. Good planning means good result for the community. Enjoy your museum!
ReplyDeleteThe museum can now pick up high quality exhibits because of better temperature and humidity control.
DeleteYou don't almost have to go inside anymore. More to see outside it seems :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's one of the most attractive museums in this area.
DeleteHello, the artwork on the walls do look beautiful. What a lovely way to make the building look more attractive. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteThe original design of the museum had squares if cedar so this replaced the cedar.
DeleteA fine museum, Red. I always enjoy our trips around your community. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I happened to have to wait for the micro manager so I used the time for photos.
DeleteI recognize that streetscape painting as an Edward Hopper. Interesting idea, to make it look like you're peering in the windows of the gallery!
ReplyDeleteIt could also be peering into the past !!!
DeleteVery interesting post. We have a Museum but never been in it. Looks small ours and hard to spot it is hidden from the highway.
ReplyDeleteThanks. This museum is ion an excellent location but it can't be expanded in the location.
DeleteIt's amazing how many flags you see in a city's downtown like that. Must suck to be the person who has to change them for every event
ReplyDeleteYes , somebody must like that job!
DeleteCongratulations on the Big 150! I love the mural idea for the museum. It beautifies the outside area.
ReplyDeleteYes most buildings are pretty dull and boring so this makes things more attractive.
DeleteLooks like they have good planners to keep this museum going well
ReplyDeleteWe have an excellent museum director.
DeleteAll well that ends well but those "penny wise and pound foolish" people make civic improvement often a struggle...
ReplyDeleteIt's always a struggle to get special things done.
DeleteLove the faux paintings of paintings, especially Sargent's Madame X.
ReplyDeleteHey, I learned a new term! faux paintings!
DeleteA fine looking museum. I like that they used old local scenes to decorate the back of the museum.
ReplyDeleteWe have some similar murals around town.
DeleteSomething about the little girl particularly stands out.
ReplyDeleteYes, the little girl does stand out but I'm not sure what she's there for.
DeleteThe gallery concept is very interesting! Looking good.
ReplyDeleteThey made the best of a bad situation.
DeleteLooks like a really nice place!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that the money appears to have not achieved what might have been achieved but it certainly has its attractions (shown in both this and the last pist).
ReplyDeleteIt's not often you see a museum which you can peruse from the outside. I never have. I think it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThe museum is very good looking with the designs on the outside. You have some nice art works on the inside.
ReplyDeleteIt's smart that someone thought to use the outside as well as the inside to display art. Twice the space for the same price. And also it's appreciated by those who would never bother to go inside.
ReplyDeleteOh I liked the art gallery idea, very interesting! :)
ReplyDeletegreat museum!
ReplyDeletevery nicely captured by you ,LOVED the little girl's Portrait!
