Titian Museum Visit

I went to see the Titian exhibit on Wednesday.  It was very interesting.  Initially, it is not what I anticipated to see because we had been talking about the "white cube" in class.  The Titian exhibit had red walls, instead of white, and all of the paintings, or at least the biggest ones, were framed in gold frames.  This created a different feel than the neutral "white cube" feel created in the modern art section of the high museum.  The red walls, and gold frames made the section of the museum seem more like a palace than a modern museum.  This however leant itself well to the paintings because they were originally painted to be seen in grand, palace-like homes or in churches.  This was an interesting visit to see a contrast between the "white cube" and other methods of displaying artwork.
