Questions


The questions must be asked- what is a museum and why build it? After all, with the Internet we can see all the art we want-right? We must be in its presence to experience the truths it reveals.
Much like architecture one must see the original- move around it and experience being as far away as the one who created it.
The views of nature enhance and focus this search for truth in beauty.
A place of contemplation, meditation and elevation of the spirit. A Museum of Watercolor can be all of these things: rooted in the land, transected with water and bathed in the light which is essential for human activity.
This then is the beginning of the physical form. The making of a place should nourish and extends the interests of humankind. This should happen in a way that causes man or woman to stop and divert the stream of life away from the mundane towards the savor of ' elan'... of being!
