Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago

 David's Bowie exhibit!

            On our tour we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art. We had the opportunity to experience David's Bowie exhibit. For those who don't know about the artist, he is a great painter. Also, he was a singer too. In the exhibition they were offering headphones so people can listen to the artist singing and talk while walking around the exhibition. The artist's way of dressing was a little bit weird.

DePaul Museum Group Project

DE Paul Museum Group Project

On this project we went to Depaul Museum with my group. The museum belongs to Depaul University. 

The museum has two floors and its free to enter. When we got to the museum it was almost empty except two visitors. In that day there was an exhibit called "The Justice Chair". As you can see there are some strips under the chair and they are made of X-ray films, and it shows the names of the people who were held there in the 2012.
