| Phoenix Art Museum |
My travels take me next to Phoenix. I know that there is art everywhere I go, and I am glad to seek it out. This museum was very easy to find and accessible by public transportation from the airport. It is a small museum, however it does display some great works of art that should not be missed.

What is always fun about going to a new museum is seeing their current exhibitions. It is always an adventure and I love to see the creativity of what is displayed and how they introduce the works of art.
The Cape:
"I saw the whole man slowly emerging from the window and begin to craw down the castle wall over the dreadful abyss, face down in his cloak spreading out him like great wings..."
Dracula, Brahm Stoker 1897
Read My Pins
"Before long, and with out intending, I found that jewelry had become part of my diplomatic arsenal. Former President GHW Bush had been known for saying,
"Read my lips". I began urging colleagues and reporters to "Read my Pins"
~ Madeline Albright
I was looking to see western art and I was not disappointed.
Last, but not least I came across the very interesting sculpture. I studied it from many angles, and was intrigued at the amount of emotion others displayed when they were looking at the work of art. Many people walked by and looked at it with curiosity not knowing what to make of it. One child that was with a school group asked if the rest of his body is in the white box. That is what art is all about, making us think and ponder the "where is that, or what is that" question because the answer is different every time to the onlooker.
