#JSETT Twitter Chat Recap: Art Culture
Do you seek out art during your travels, whether at a local gallery or museum or in a public space? Since this week’s #JSETT Twitter chat was sponsored by the Travel and Adventure Show, which is in Philadelphia this Saturday and Sunday, we were inspired to ask about your experiences with art culture. Thanks to all who joined! Here are some of our favorite answers:
Q1: The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the US’s largest art museums. Do you like to visit art museums? Do you have a favorite?
A1: I love visiting art museums. Two of my favorites include the Dalí museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Fundació Joan Miró in BCN. #JSETT
