Seattle Art Museum guide

🎨 Seattle Art Museum 📍 Address: 1300 1st Avenue, Seattle, WA The museum houses over 20,000 artworks, spanning European and American pieces from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, as well as ancient Chinese and Japanese cultural artifacts. Here, you can see original works by renowned artists such as Monet, Henri Matisse, and the works of Armand Guillaumin, who was highly regarded by both Monet and Paul Cézanne in his time. Through these paintings, you can glimpse Renaissance Italy as well as the spring of 1905 on West 78th Street in Manhattan, New York. What left a deep impression on me was a room in the Italian gallery—a reproduction of a late-16th-century residence from the northern Italian town of Chiavenna. 🎨 Frye Art Museum 📍 Address: 704 Terry Ave, Seattle, WA 98104 The museum's collection originates from the private collection of Charles Frye (1858–1940) and his wife Emma (d. 1934). Charles, the owner of a meatpacking plant in Seattle, allocated funds in his will to establish an art museum to house the Frye family’s collection of 232 paintings. Though the museum is small, stepping inside feels like entering a "canvas film reel" 🎞️ from another era. The nameless figures in the paintings seem to reach out, as if trying to converse with you! #Seattle#Seattlelife#Seattleguide#Seattleweekend#Seattlediary#ArtMuseum#SeattleMuseum
