I love the museum too. It always takes me to another place in time and I feel like I’m there

I am Italian and Czechoslovakian but am American born. Though I look native American. My grandmother had a black onyx silver bracelet that gave me a glimpse into my past as a native American. I knew it since I was little as I would have dreams about living on the reservation. I have always had a natural affinity for nature and going back to nature. All of these senses came to me like you said a portal in which for what seemed like a lifetime ago sent me back in time.

I would love to visit your state and museums. The art is very beautiful and it’s so important that someone cares if it is preserved.

“What memories do objects hold for you? If you are a writer, how have you used objects to illustrate the ideas in your stories?”

As a wedding photo journalist, I am a writer of peoples lives. I find it truly remarkable that I have come to a similar conclusion regarding the intricate and delicate nature of capturing the more intimate parts of a wedding. By that I mean, capturing the bride as she dabs on perfume given to her by her grand dad or capturing a groom as he candidly speaks with his great grandmother. These seemingly mundane parts of a wedding when captured correctly become the pictures that in about 20 years tell the entire story again very vividly.

Quite agree, i am an art-lover and an art dealer, which brings me to this business is just the feeling your article write about. Every day i love to enjoy oil paintings and enjoy the stories behind the paintings. Although we sell oil painting reproductions, but we usually let our artists know some stories about the original artworks they are going to reproduce.

I feel like that too when I visit museums. It’s like the energy is still in the room. Thank you for knowledge in this in your post. I think it’s very universal. I think one of the ways that we receive divine communication from God is through one another.

I actually do feel the identical whenever i go through the objects inside the museums. Any other day I used to be in the old New England Mansion visit and was in the kitchen area exploring the kitchenware which brought to mind how difficult and time intensive that it was to cook during early 1800s. You can see right now the easy life of the folks in that time.

I do feel the same when I look at the objects in the musuems. Other day I was in the old New England Mansion tour and was in the kitchen section looking at the cookware which reminded me of how tough and time consuming it was to cook during early 19th century. You can imagine the simple life of the people during that time.

I feel like this too when I visit museums. It’s almost like the energy of the people is still present in the room. I get the same feeling when I research my family tree, when you find out the history of the person, it feels like you are part of that moment.
