Art - Best Viewed Alone or With Friends?

[Juliax]

Both ways. Sometimes alone, sometimes with friends or family...But I think I enjoy it most/best alone for some reason

Same here. The first time I want to enjoy it alone to later share it with friend or family. That's how it works best for me, but there are exceptions, like when looking at art together with someone of the same.

For me, I wouldn't mind visiting a museum with a friend who only makes thoughtful comments about the artwork in question, but I don't like it when theres the constant chattering in your ear- I'm sure no one wants that when you're admiring work of any kind- Whenever I go somewhere with my family we're almost sure to visit a Museum if there is one, but they make their way so quickly to the exit signs I'm not entirely sure whether they realised they were in a museum its not possible to appreciate anything at the rate they move. At times like that I wish I was alone, could go at my own pace.

i went to an art museum with a guy friend recently and it was AWFUL. he kept talking and we basically ran through the museum...done in 20 mins. barely looked at anything properly. i was sooo pissed off.

so disappointing especially since i've been dying to go that particular museum for AGES. god next time i'm going alone or taking a considerate friend who is also interested in art....

I'm actually going to sound like a geek but I love going to museums with my parents. My mother and I have very similar tastes in art, especially paintings, and I always find it interesting to hear my dad analyze a piece. I don't mind going to museums by myself though, if I just want to be alone, paintings or photographs really relax me
