Photo Gallery #2 – Katelyn Westervelt

Hi everyone! Yesterday, June 10, I went up to Hartford, CT to visit the Wadsworth Atheneum. I took my mom with me this time since she hadn't been to this museum and has also been asking about my visits to the museums when I have gone and sent her photos. Below are an assortment of photographs from my visit to the Wadsworth, including pictures of the art, and some pictures of my mom and I enjoying the art! This is my favorite museum I have visited so far this summer semester, and is definitely a museum I hope to take my future high school art students to.
