Show Notes:
What’s it like for a complete beginner to wander through one of the world’s greatest museums? In this episode, Sami shares his unexpected detour to the National Gallery in Washington D.C., where Impressionism stole the spotlight.
We talk about how it feels to encounter masterpieces in person for the first time, why Impressionism still captivates audiences today and Zahra talks about the difference between impressionism and post-impressionism.
Spoiler: sometimes being a little lost is the best way to discover art.
Are you ready to dive in? Let’s go!
Highlights:
