I did some food shopping yesterday in Cartersville GA and happened to drive by the Booth Western Art Museum<\/a>. It looked impressive, somewhat reminiscent, in location (a small town) and architecture, of the Clark Art Institute<\/a> in Williamstown MA. But also reminiscent, in terms of the subject matter, of the National Cowboy Museum<\/a> in Oklahoma City. I had some refrigerated items from my shopping trip but figured I wouldn’t be longer than an hour. And it was a cool day. So I went. $11 senior ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very impressive museum. It has more paintings and sculpture, I think, than the Cowboy Museum. Fewer western and native American artifacts. And almost no pop culture stuff. So a serious museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not a judge of the value of art. I do know that this museum had fewer Remington pieces than the Cowboy Museum – just one, actually – but I know what I like and I liked what I saw here. There were many very detailed paintings. Very lifelike. I have included a few here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some nice sculpture too, both inside the building and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, a very nice museum. I spent more than an hour inside. But the milk seems to be ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
