A Trip to the Museum

Last Thursday, we took the streetcar to go to the Ogden Museum. In this museum were glass-work, paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Although we had only half an hour to spend in the museum, I really liked it and wanted to go back. My favorite artwork was this sculpture of Hurricane Katrina. I'm not sure how to describe but it was an interesting thing to see. It looked chaotic but Hurricane Katrina brought in a lot of troubles for the citizens of New Orleans. There was a lot of symbolism in this artwork. It was amazing how a catastrophic event like Hurricane Katrina can be expressed in art.
Besides, the museum, we went to Lee Circle where we met this native who thought we were tourists. One of the great things about New Orleans is the people. The native we met was quite a character. When we needed to cross the street to get to the streetcar, out of the blue, he walked in front of us and guided us to the street car.
