Wow, what an awesome day! A couple friends and I went to downtown Baltimore today. We took the UMBC transit bus to the Inner Harbor. FYI: you can ride on it for free as many times as you want throughout the semester! I mean the fee is included in your tuition so students should really take advantage of it and there are several buses on-campus that go to several locations around Baltimore. Anyways, we went to downtown Baltimore and then took another bus nearby (we stood at the wrong bus stop for a while but we eventually found the right one!) and we went to the BMA (The Baltimore Museum of Art). This was my second time going to an art museum. I went to The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento in middle school but I barely remember the trip but I do remember that it was very small. This was no the case for the BMA, it is HUGE! It has three floors and their art pieces are gorgeous! The BMA really interested me because I took an art history class last semester and now I’m taking 20th century art. It was nice seeing pieces form artists I have studied. The coolest part was when I saw one of Henri Matisse’s paintings that we were studying in class last week! It was so much fun! So then we went to lunch and took another bus back to the Inner Harbor. We walked around the harbor until the UMBC bus came back to pick us up. The only bad part about this trip was the fact that it was SO windy and cold! Other than that, it was a fun day! I can’t wait to go back again.
