Art museums are special places.

It’s nice to take a step back from daily life and visit another world by exploring a museum.

Read on for blogs from art museums.

1. The Met

The Met offers more than 5,000 years of art in three locations in New York City.

Come See Dürer at The Met This Fall!; Sophie’s Story: The Narrow Escape of a Painting by Paul Klee; and The Beginning of The Met’s Library, Part I are great reads.

4. The Cleveland Museum of Art

The CMA opened in 1916 with a mission “for the benefit of all the people forever.”

I enjoyed reading Celebrating the Holiday Season through the Years at the CMA; Choreographing Stillness: An Interview with the Artist and Choreographer Maria Hassabi; and Celebrating Ceremony: Native American Drawings Now on View.
