I spent this Sunday wandering through the galleries at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, which is what I do almost every weekend and I saw that the museum has recently made a few notable new additions to its permanent galleries, such as the new “cabinet.” A cabinet is a room where collectors display their works in a personal way and the one at the MFAH is certainly that. The room is a menagerie of objects ranging from creepy 17th century manuscripts and a wooden mirror carved with skeletons, to personal altarpieces and traditional Flemish portraits.
The display and curation of the cabinet reflects its origins as a personal collection room. The paintings are displayed in a gallery style instead of having all the paintings at eye-level and on one plane. Also, the lack of artist labels next to the paintings contribute to the feeling that the art is being viewed at a collector’s house rather than a museum. Also, the range of the art was wide–it did not stick to one particular region or period, making it feel truly personal.
I am so happy that the MFAH is exploring new ways to display their amazing collection of art. Here were a few of my favorite pieces from the cabinet!

Es cierto que cuando se pasa una mala experiencia se hace difícil hallar las lecciones, mas transcurrido un tiempo, cuando las cosas han pasado, pues siempre y en todo momento pasan,
llega la nostalgia y se comprende que la vida se forja
también en esos instantes, y que se pueden localizar bonitas oraciones de
amor en los capítulos más oscuros de la existencia.
