Introduction
Traveling is supposed to be an enriching experience, but if you’re just like me — a regular person who doesn’t have much money to spend on souvenirs and other trinkets — there’s no point in going somewhere that doesn’t inspire you. That’s why I love taking trips where I can learn about the history, architecture and art of a new city or country.
Visit art galleries.
Art galleries are a great place to learn about art. There are many different types of art galleries, so you can find one that suits your interests. Art galleries can be found in many different places–some cities have them on every street corner and some smaller towns don’t have any at all! Art galleries often open late or even 24 hours so you can visit them at night if you want to see how they look when there aren’t any people around.
Art is not just for looking at; it’s also for touching! You should definitely touch the paintings if they allow it; this will help you feel what the artist was trying to express when he or she created them (or her).
Check out an art museum.
Art museums are a great place to experience art, especially if you’re not familiar with the artist or their work. You can learn about the history of an artist and see how their style has changed over time. Plus, many museums have educational programs that help visitors understand more about what they’re seeing in the galleries.
Art museums come in all shapes and sizes: some focus on one artist or genre; others cover broad swaths of time periods from ancient civilizations up through modern times; still others may be dedicated solely to children’s education programs (so your kids will enjoy them too!). There are also plenty of ways for travelers who want something more interactive than just looking at paintings on display at an art museum–check out our guide for more info!
Visit an artist’s studio.
Visiting an artist’s studio can be an incredible experience. Not only will it give you a better understanding of their work, but it will also help you gain insight into their process and inspiration. You’ll discover how they create their pieces, which is often very different from what people expect. Artists are often so engrossed in their work that they don’t realize how much time has passed until someone else reminds them!
If the artist has recently finished a piece or has something new coming up soon, ask about it! This gives them an opportunity to talk about things they’re excited about and show off any new projects they have lined up for later this year (or even next).
Take a class on art appreciation.
You can take a class on art appreciation in a museum.
You can also take a class on art appreciation in a university.
You can even take a class online, if you’re so inclined!
Or you could check out one of the many books available about art and culture that will help you understand what makes these works so important to our world today.
Learn about local artists and craftspeople.
When you’re traveling, it’s easy to forget that the art you see around you is usually created by local artists. Many cities have vibrant arts scenes, and finding out about these artists is an important part of exploring your surroundings.
You can do this in a variety of ways:
- Visit galleries and museums that feature work by local artists. You might also want to check out special events like gallery openings or artist talks, which are often free or affordable (and offer great opportunities for mingling with locals).
- Check out craft fairs where local makers sell their handmade wares–many cities have these! If there aren’t any nearby, consider hosting one yourself; many cities have community spaces where this is possible on a small scale (e.g., outdoor markets).
Eat at a traditional restaurant or food stall that serves regional cuisine, or go to a market where you can try many different kinds of food.
If you want to experience traditional food in a new city, try eating at a restaurant or food stall that serves regional cuisine. You can also visit local markets and try the foods there.
If you’re looking for something more familiar, but still want to get some authentic flavors from your destination, look for restaurants that serve international cuisine with an authentic twist. For example: Cajun French food or Korean tacos!
If you’re traveling with friends who aren’t as adventurous as you are when it comes to trying new foods (or if they don’t like spicy dishes), this might be a good option since it’s familiar enough not to scare them away while still being unique enough that everyone will enjoy their meal together
Book a room in a boutique hotel near an art district so you can spend your evenings exploring the area’s galleries and restaurants, then walk back to your room for some well-earned rest.
