The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art

July 2, 2009

This musuem was one that was not particularly my favorite, but was interesting all the same.

There are many pictures in this musuem that our guide, Ann, told us about. (I would not recommend a tour guide becuase we viewed only two types of exhibits with her. I also thought that our guide talked too much, so we could not view as quickly as we wanted to.) All the pictures in that exhibit were by three people, which Ann told lots information about. Many pictures were taken for the enchanting texture of the object and the uniqueness. For example, there are many pictures that include peeling paint. Ann told us all about the cameras and how they changed the black to blacker. The pictures were all in black and white in that particular part of the museum.

The second exibit included three different rooms all in the same category. It was called 'Seriously Funny'. There were more sculptures than pictures, and all made fun of a type of subject. I found that part entertaining.

The museum has a gift shop, a 'backyard' with a fountain for kids to play in, a pond with a swan and ducks, and much more.

I think that this museum would be good for adult, as the children would llike to play in the water more.
