Navshin and I love to find new places to go and explore, and on one such occasion we decided to visit the Norton Simon Museum located in Pasadena. Being the lovers of art and museums that we are, we decided to go check it out.
It was a great day to be in Pasadena as always, and this museum has indoor and outdoor sections, both equally amazing and inspiring. They have different exhibits and collections ranging from Asian Art, European Art, and Modern & Contemporary Art.
One of the current exhibits featured at the museum is Human/Nature: Photographs Constructing the Natural World. This exhibition is going to be there from March 6, 2015-August 31,2015.
