NT Am I uncultured?

nazdrowie · Dec 27, 2016

I am in Chicago, visiting with family that I rarely get to see from Cali. They invited me to an outing to the Museum of Science and Industry.

I've been to the Museum a few times as a child, and thought awesome, it would be cool to see again since I enjoyed it as a youngster.

I couldn't have been more wrong, I was bored. I didn't want to be bored, but I just couldn't deal with more than two or so exhibits.

I then suggested a designated time and place to meet saying there were exhibits I wanted to see. Upon leaving the group, I headed for the exit and into Hyde Park, an area I really like to walk around in. I found a Vietnamese place off 55th and enjoyed a big bowl of pho, wandered around the neighborhood for a while, and eventually met back up fams in the lobby.

I started thinking, why was I so bored though? Museums are bastions of learning, and cover some of greatest feats and the things we should learn the most from. Have I been ruined by YouTube and Wikipedia? I can spend hours looking through random articles or watching vids on history, innovations, and tragedies of the like.

Sorry for thinking out load, but am I uncultured for not giving that museum, or almost any other for that matter, a second thought?

Maybe the museum just sucked.

No, there's culture in so many other things. Museums is just one outlet. Are you Vietnamese? If not, by ending up there you showed a shade of being cultured in identifying and accepting another way style different than your own.

Maybe museums just aren't your thing.

Crazy went to the museum of natural history in NYC wanting the same experience of being awed again. Nope boring lifeless(no pun) exhibits and displays. So dispoaointed that I wasted all that money and it was wack.

But I do truly enjoy the MoMA, which I visit every so often, and smaller art galleries around the city.

That museum looks off da hook bruh. How could interactive science exhibits bore you... what's up with that papi?

Was it the crowds? If you were all alone in the museum with a cute homely chick would you have enjoyed it then?

Not liking museums doesn't make you uncultured at all. Some people never go to museums. Some people go and don't know how to act in there... wearing hats or talking too loud.

Being uncultured, in your scenario, would be fiending for some soup and then going to the supermarket and buying a can of Campbell's chunky. Some people will never know what pho is because they lack the ability of broadening their scope of the world.

Maybe.

I haven't been to the museum of science and industry since high school. I wonder if I would be bored going up there. Were there a lot of people there?

You don't need a museum to experience culture, or be "cultured". You good.

How was the pho?

What is your definition of "cultured" and "uncultured" opee

dipsetgeneral · Dec 27, 2016

I agree with he rest of the thread. You are cultured.

lovehateself · Dec 27, 2016

uncultered ?,

nah you were just hungry

paulwest1985 · Dec 27, 2016

Dude, you ditched the museum to indulge in some Vietnamese Pho. There is nothing uncultured about you at all. Museums aren't for everybody. Now if you went over to McDiddy's for a big mac.....then yea. You might be a bit uncultured.

Im not a fan of museums, at all

Fong$tarr · Dec 27, 2016

I consider myself an art lover and have been to tons of art shows as well has museum exhibits and I have to say, I thoroughly hate museums over the casual street art show. For me, I have to go to something I am interested in. I am an open person to a degree but I can hate on things pretty fast once I realize what I am getting myself into.

Speaking of museums, there is a sneaker exhibit at the Oakland art Museum. This is what I mean when I say I can hate things pretty fast. Just from the video below, it looks like one of the worst shoe collections ever. I am sure just those sneaker expos can do a better job a curating a sneaker exhibit. Sneaker collections would be a great thing to see in a museum but it better have some good shoes to boot.

EDIT: This is cool though.

I love going to museums. Been to all of the museums in DC countless times.

Also went to the MET and MoMA a few months ago.

Also not really related but now i want to watch The Thomas Crown Affair.

One of my favorite movies

Always wondered how hard it would be to actually steal a painting

The Original Thomas Crown Affair is one of my fav movies. I read that they're remaking it with Michael B Jordan as the lead.
