Henry Art Gallery

For my free art experience of the month, I went to the Henry Art Gallery in the U-District. The building was a wonderful mix of old architecture and new contemparery spaces. I found that the space at the top of the building to be the most moving. There was a fantastic room that was called the sky lounge. This room was circular and had an oval hole at the top to reveal the sky. This room had an amazing acoustic qwallity. You could hear to smallest little wiper like your own voice was being said to your ear and when you really wanted to project and fill the room, it would vibrate violently. Most of the gallery was empty however on the bottom floor there was an exhibit about buildings which was fantastic. This was a compilation of building textures and building structures build to a 1:30 scale. Over all the gallery felt like it had a lot of potential and that it had the ability to show many works of art however because it was mostly empty I could apprecate the high qwallity of architecture in the older parts of the building.
