6/04: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and Gilleleje

We visited Louisiana Museum of Modern Art at Humlebaek, Denmark. Some of the modern art pieces seemed so familiar to me. Again, I took Contemporary Art History and History of Modern Art. Some pieces such as Andy Warhol, Francesca Woodman, and Diane Arbus I learned about them during my previous semesters. As a Photography minor, I remembered I learned about both artists, Francesca Woodman and Diane Arbus. Both of them have very interesting photography works. One of my favorite pieces in the museum was when we went into the dark room that contains little lights. When I came inside, the lights were surrounded around me and my colleagues. The room could fit only three people. For those who love contemporary and modern art, this museum would be the place for you.

Next visit was the Fishing Village at Gilleleje. I never tried Fish and Chips in my life, so it was my first time trying it. It was really good. I wished I had a chance to try their crawfish. Although I had fish and chips, I also had shrimp as my side dish. Their shrimps are so fresh. I kept devouring like it was a french fry. If I have a chance to go to this place again, I want to try their crawfish. Moreover, there were a lot of sailing boats parked by the pier. I believe those boats are for the people who catch seafood. I hope someday we could ride one of those and watch how they catch them.

Gilleleje beach was our last place. Since Denmark is located up north of Europe, I already knew that the water is cold there. I found out there were some jellyfishes on the shore. I know... it was really weird and scary. I saw it was on my leg once but it did not stung me. One of my friend held one but I think it was dead. No one except one of my instructors swam there. When we were almost ready to leave, I decided to dive in. I missed swimming at beaches. Even it was cold, I felt relaxed. The more I swim, the water did not make me feel cold.
