This has got to be the cutest little museum ever. When it has a new exhibition, it completely transforms. I was lucky to get to experience “Selby’s World”. Selby seems like one of those strange adults who has a million things in their head and sees art everywhere. His brain threw up into this museum.
Decorated museum and walls:
“I remember walking around the art museums as a child, looking at paintings by masters and loudly saying, “I could do that””
I relate to “Do I have stamps?” and “Excitement”. I don’t think me and Mr. Selby have much in common.
He definitely loved using watercolor as his main medium, even the walls were painted. It gave his art and the whole museum a fun, playful, soft vibes. I was so excited to explore and my mood felt lifted from the positive emotions the work gave off.
“When I was a kid, I hoarded tons of knick knacks and clothes in huge piles in my room. Instead of cleaning up, I hatched a brilliant plan to make the world a more colorful, messy place.”
Okay, a little too messy for me here. How is it that people pay money to go look at a messy room? Brilliant man.
4th floor- this is based off a dream that Selby had as a kid. And he recreated it! I want to live in this wild place.
The directions, the museum is tucked away somewhere and not the easiest to find, so make sure you follow it correctly! The exhibitions change every so often, so I think Selby’s world will be taken over by the life of another artist by next month.
