The first exhibition I had visited was the 'Wildlife Photographer of the Year' at M Shed. It is a small exhibition all the photos are in one room. The exhibition shows all the nominated photos and also the ones that won. All the photos had been submitted for this year's competition. The room was designed so that there was a clear walking route. In the middle of the room was a smaller room. Visitors could take a lap around the room and then they would have seen all the photos. You could also go into the smaller room and then you would see a projection of all the winning photos. In the smaller room, they had painted the walls black so it looked darker. Even though they had done that, the projections were still not very visible.

The best part of the exhibition were the photos themselves. The photos were very impressive. I also liked that under the photos they not only described what you saw on the photo but sometimes also a fact about the animal itself. This exhibition is for families with small children, so it is also fun for the children to learn about the animals. I also liked that they tried to start a discussion about how humans threaten animals, and how climate change is causing many animals to run out of habitat. In this day and age, you can't just show beautiful pictures of nature without also showing that ne nature is being ruined by humans.

There were things I thought that were less appealing about the exhibition. I thought the photos could have been printed more beautifully. I understand they have a budget but the photos have so many details and you can hardly see it. They had printed the winning photos a bit bigger but I still found them very small. There were also little things in the exhibition that I didn't really like. For example, the chairs they had put in front of the projection and the small TV. There was a chair in front of the small TV. It would have already looked better if there were two chairs. They had also put quotes from the jury on the walls but since the walls were close together and the quotes were sometimes very large, you often couldn't read what was written on them. But these are minor details. I really liked the exhibition and it is definitely something you should visit with your children or grandparents.

The second exhibition I visited was the Gary Fabian Miller: Adore exhibition at Arnolfini. This was a rather large exhibition spread over three floors. On the first floor, they show a few of Miller's works. In the middle of the space is a small room. The room is painted blue inside. In the room they show another few works by Miller and also a few works by other artists who inspired him. On the second floor, they show more varied works by Miller, such as carpets. There are also more works by other artists who inspire Miller. There is a room filled with photographs by Nicholas J R White, who Miller currently is working with. On the wall, they show a map with some of Miller's favourite hiking routes. On the third floor, you can watch several of Miller's films. In those films, you see an artwork of his accompanied by a kind of meditating sound. I personally liked this exhibition his work is very soothing and interesting. I thought the way they had exhibited his work was effective. One thing I sometimes found confusing was that they had mixed the works of artists who inspire him with his own artpieces. Sometimes I didn't understand who made it.
I do have to say that I felt this exhibition was not quite meant for me. At the beginning of the exhibition, they give no information about who Gary Fabian Miller is. I myself did not know who he is, so his work and sources of inspiration do not tell me a lot. Because they don't actually give any information about him either, it's hard for me to get a picture of him. Then his favourite hikes are not very interesting to hear about either. I myself would have found it interesting to get more information about how he takes his photos. I understand that it takes away a bit of the specialness of the photos, but I always find it very interesting to see how something is made. Then I understand better why a work of art is special. Even though I did not know who Gary Fabian Miller was, I still found it an impressive exhibition. I especially found the film on the third floor very fascinating. One thing I thought was very well done was that there was always a good seating area

For the final exhibition, I did a virtual tour at the Staatliche Museen in Berlin. The exhibition was called: 'Donatello: Inventor of the Renaissance'.The exhibition shows about 90 works by Donatello. The first thing that strikes me about it is the colours of the walls. I think that is very well done. The lighting makes the works look like they are glowing.
