The second-to-last Art City Tour for 2015 is this Wednesday, September 16. Stay educated before you go.
Art City Tour has gained many fans in the last six years since it began, but donโt let their raving reviews fool you. There are plenty of reasons not to attend.
1. You actually hate art.
Youโve seen it all: contemporary, Baroque, surreal, precolumbianโฆ yet nothing is quite as beautiful as the beautifully bare walls of home. Paintings? Photos? Pottery? It all just hurts your eyes. Why would you ever want to expose yourself to four whole hours of art?
2. Ignorance is bliss.
Jurassic Park novelist Michael Crichton once said, โIf you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything,โ and youโd like to keep it that way! Colonial conquests? Boring. Intricate golden artifacts? Too gaudy. Youโd rather follow in the footsteps of Pink Floyd, because you โdonโt need no education.โ
3. You donโt like free things.
We get it. Why get unlimited access to San Joseโs many museums for free, when you can pay $10 per museum any other day? How else can you get rid of all that cash weighing down your back pocket? Free entrance, free transportation, free special eventsโฆ no thank you!
4. Rice and beans are superior.
Who isnโt a little scared of foreign food? Sure it might be gourmet and fresh from the market, but it isnโt what youโre used to. The opportunities Art City Tour offers to visit restaurants with artisanally-crafted dishes and drinks just make you scrunch up your nose.
5. You prefer Segways and hovercraft.
After all theyโre the transport of the future. Biking is too much exercise, and buses are too crowded. God forbid you ever have to walk anywhere in one of the worldโs most beautiful countries. Maybe youโd consider the tour if they offered more modern options to get from museum to museum.
If for whatever reason you still want to attend, the Greater Metropolitan Areaโs cultural activities program will pick you up at one of the following locations: Museo de Arte y Diseรฑo Contemporรกneo, Museo Nacional, Museo del Jade y la cultura precolombina, Museo Calderรณn Guardia, Museos del Banco Central, Museo de Arte Costarricense.
โฆ but consider yourself warned!
