My visit to Tacoma Art Museum near Seattle, WA, USA.

Checking out online before choosing which gallery to visit is a good way to know how to find what suits you. I watched the video of the Tacoma Art Museum and loved it. Tacoma is 45 miles from Seattle, the city is a harbor and very scenic. Most museums are located near each other, quite close to the entrance of the city. TAM suited my requirement to see paintings of Native Americans  as well as to see contemporary art of America. It also boasted having the famous Seattle glass pieces as well as some sculptures. The best part was that it had no nudes as we know them. Though I love European art, however the profusion of female nudes in it, is not something that I’d like to see. I believe it is not respectful to a woman or girl.  So, this museum was the best: its size was just right, so it wasn’t tiring at all.  The displays had a bit of everything. Most importantly, the staff was very helpful and welcoming.  It was decent in every way. In fact I loved my trip there. So, I’ll just leave you to pictures I took.

This ended my visit to the museum which I really found a very well rounded one. The art shop and restaurant gave the visitors an opportunity to buy some souvenirs from the Museum and relax and have a cup of coffee as well.

I’d recommend this place to anyone going to Seattle or living nearby.

      Thank you so much for your comment. I’ve recently shifted my blog to the new address: https://www.shireengheba.com. As you may know, that itself has its own hazards. However, I’m finding it takes much longer for me to post my blogs and the process is becoming even more painful. I’m glad you have mentioned this, I need to be more vigilant. Now, I have someone who is helping me with my blogging. Lets hope my timing improves. Thanks, once again for your comment. (Now, I don’t get the comments in my email, as I used to, this is why I miss it out.) Take care, and stay blessed.
