Visiting museum is like a fantastic journey
catching a glimpse of the masterpieces from our ancestors,
having a conversion with the giants,
experiencing the different culture atmosphere.

In the museum I feel like nobody
rowing a small boat in the long history river,
like a letter printed on one of the thousand pages in a thick history annual,
a tiny star drown in the endless galaxy.

Those antiques in the vitrines are sleeping silently,
seem so close, but so far.
They are telling us stories about the eras they lived and dedicated,
they are the wordless narrator.

At dusk when I walked on the road which led me home
and watched the sun going down, disappeared behind the hills.
I carried a notebook, a camera in my heavy bag,
a delightful heart, and a brain full of inspirer.


The author's comments:
I think I never get bored, even visit the same museum everyday. Because every time when I entered in the door, those treasure made me speechless, every piece has rich meaning behind. Considering the museum as a combination of a school, a gallery, a library won’t be exaggerative. Through those exhibits under the spotlights, and the explanations beside, they taught me experience and lessons, something I can learn from the historical people and events.

I went to New York City for vacation, spent my time on visiting some of the museums, such as Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art and American Museum of Natural History. To know more about a city deeply, only go to those famous civic landscapes is not enough, you would be better have trips in the museum.

Those priceless treasures in the museum are vivid descriptions, they build up a bridge which connected the history and now.
