Art and Culture at IU

I visited the Indiana University Eskenazi Museum of Art and was impressed by its rich collection of ancient and modern art from all over the world. The museum had over 45,000 objects including sculptures, paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs. I was fascinated by the Indian and Chinese art, especially the exquisite jade sculptures. There were also many European paintings by great masters like Rembrandt, Rubens, and Picasso. I learned that the museum regularly hosts exhibitions and programs on different themes such as women in art, contemporary art, and African art. The museum also plays an important role in the academic life of the university by supporting research and teaching on art history and art conservation. I compared this museum with other art museums I have visited and found it to be one of the best I have seen.
