Yinka Shonibare at Brooklyn Museum

Since I started this blog, I've been searching for a way to incorporate exhibitions I've visited at other museums and galleries to diversify my content and express my impressions of all art that I experience.

I have to say, I was ecstatic! Without realizing it, I really have learned so much from visiting the Met for almost a year.
