it was really great to spend time in the new gallery. i loved the barry mcgee piece of course, but in general, it was nice to see some contemporary asian art.
the storytelling tour was also really cool. although it is not really my thing, i can definitely see the appeal for all ages and the guy who lead the tour was super engaging and really good with little kids. i was surprised how many people showed up for that!
i also liked the audio tour a lot more than i thought i would. while in the persian/west asia gallery, i was surrounded by different types of really complex patterns. upon trying to sketch them, i gained a deeper understanding for the work and how much effort must have gone into it.
the concert also was a very popular event. it was cool seeing those amazing musicians too!
