Trip to the Museum

The trip to the museum was very beneficial for me. I think it was really neat to see all the paintings and different artwork. Reading the poems and walking through the museum was a really great experience. My favorite part of the museum was upstairs where there were over 20 different pictures from around the world. The picture showed a family with all their possessions outside the house and then on the side it showed statistics of the families income, dreams, hours per week, number of family members, favorite item in the house, and more. Each picture varied from three family members to twelve. Some people’s most valued possessions were Bibles, the children in the house, ancient paintings, among other things. Income was anywhere from 200 dollars a year to 50,000 dollars and more a year. Some head of the families worked 20 hours a week and some worked 140 hours a week. To me this is so hard to imagine. I think of my father who works over 40 hours a week and it seems as if he is never home. A person that works 140 hours a week and only makes on average 2,000 dollars a year is a hard-working individual and I just can’t imagine or know how someone is capable of doing so. There were pictures from France, America, India, Haiti, Germany, Russia, and many more. It was so eye opening to see all the different countries and to see all the valued possessions from these countries. The landscaping was so different and some of the countries I had never even heard of before. Going to the museum was very exciting for me and my favorite thing was definitely seeing all the pictures from the different countries.
