Museum/Gallery Paper I went and visited the Wichita Art Museum for this assignment. Going into this assignment I was apprehensive as it had been well over a decade since the last time I have ever been to a museum. From what i did recall I remember finding myself seeing pieces of art and not understanding how that is even considered art.
