5. Reflection
I really enjoyed researching a bit into this particular museum. I love Asian culture, as it is quite fascinating. My favorite piece from this project would have to be the Standing Ibra statue because of its unique method of creation. I also liked it because it is original to Japan, an exceptionally fascinating culture. This museum as a whole showcases several unique, antique, and original pieces of Asian-related pieces of art, which makes it pretty cool in my opinion. If I were ever to travel to San Francisco, I would love to visit this museum because it seems so cool.
