The Kreeger Museum

As part of my drafting class we visited the Kreeger Museum that is down the street from the MV campus. It was the home of David and Carmen Kreeger and is now a museum housing his art collection which includes numerous paintings by Monet, Picasso, and Renoir to name a few. The house was designed by Philip Johnson and was modeled after classical Greek and Roman architecture. Travertine was used throughout the entire house, keeping inline with the classical theme, and I had to capture its beautiful striations and smooth texture.
