If you have not attended Brigham Young University’s display of Victorian excellence then you have not experienced true beauty and excitement from the 1800’s. The Royal Holloway collection is on tour and graced the museum of art’s interior and will be exiting come the 24th of October. You must hurry down to Provo to gaze upon the beautiful works collected by Holloway. The exquisite paintings capture various human emotions and showcase the Victorian time period in England. Images relating to novels by Dickens or poems by Byron will change how you see the world and art as well.

Some pieces are controversial and cause you to think in a way you have never thought before. Parallels can be made between the 1800’s and our world today, causing one to realize history is cyclical and constantly repeating itself. One painting of a casual ward draws a parallel to the recent film Pursuit of Happiness showing that poverty will always grace the streets of the world. The collection awaits your visit so hurry to the Museum of Art to witness this grand collection.
