Dressed as a stately mansion, it initially appears somewhat misleading to the inexperienced passer-by, but enter it, and behold the wonders of culture expressed in a multitude of forms, from paintings to grand towering sculptures. The halls which welcome the inexperienced visitor are of a high and mighty architecture that offers a hint to the grandeur of its interior composed of art pieces vivid in detail that are pitted against accentuating variations of grey that serve as a frame to the gilded frames that hold many of the paintings, adding another dimension to enhance the appreciation for the art works awaiting inside. Navigating the generous interiors of the museum, it can be felt quite prominently of a practised consideration in the flow of movement from corridor to hall to corridor promoted by an intuitive design by harmonious collaboration between the architect and the museum director, as with each transition from exhibit to exhibit, curiosity remains unflappable, if not multiplied, by the sight of thousands of humanity’s most deserving creative works across a broad spectrum of art disciplines from a myriad of cultures of different colours and textures that stay at their pinnacle seemingly tirelessly and effortlessly, some for years, some decades and other centuries. Much like the character the museum has sought to acquire as a bastion to a plethora of the world’s cultures, be it of Eastern or Western origin, the walls lining the various halls and corridors each convey their own character, separating the museum into distinct areas that appeases the senses as much as the captivating quality of colours and textures found in equal measure in the main attractions.
