Excite place in Orlando

Recently, I visited two areas of Orlando Florida that I didn’t know exist. The first place was a white house called Timucua and the other was the Orlando Museum of Art.
When I arrived at the White house, I was just amazed. Walking in surprised me because on the outside it looks like a simple white house. However, on the inside you have a welcoming area with cakes and wine available to guest. Walking in further is the stage and seating area. This was like walking into another world. Bamboo wood floors and walls, multiple floors with a spiral staircase, and walls and ceiling designed to reduce bouncing of sound. After I too a seat on the second floor, I looked down upon the grand piano as the young jazz artists played selected pieces of music.
This experience was great and I’m glad I went. A great strength I see is the exclusivity of the White House. Not that it’s was hard to find, but because of the people. Music lovers that want the experience, as well as artists who can perform without being judged.
If I could name three things that would fix Timucua White House, it would be the seats, more info on the calendar about artist, and the food.
The seats were mentioned, because they were really close to one other. I understand fitting as many people as they can, but it was weird when sitting next to someone I didn’t know. I would make the chairs on the second and third floor more spaced out.
The information about the artist because, the three men I seen perform were great but I can’t remember there name. This is something I would love to have, so I can tell others about them.
The food, I had an issue with the preparation of some of the food that was served. They served muscles out of a plastic container. Some might not look at this as something to complain about, but that’s a very sensitive type of sea food. They were over cooked and not kept hot, which makes them easily susceptible to bacteria, resulting in food poison. A solution would be to hire me to cook. I love to cook, and I know how to cook in a professional setting with over 6 years of experience .
The other venue I attended was the Orlando museum of Art. It wasn’t as surprising as the White House but I always welcome art. The exhibit hasn’t really change since my last visit in early January, except for once section from Maya Lin.
The exhibit displayed eye deceiving patterns, as well as awesome perspective view on 3d art.
Three things I would improve is the placement of art, customer service, and the children’s art area.
The placement of art because there really isn’t a sections for new art, it’s just randomly place between the old exhibits. I would have a section set aside just for new exhibits and still maintain the path to the older ones.
The customer service was bad. While I was there, at least three people including myself needed assistance and no one was eager to help. Instead of the employees they have, the museum needs to hire people who are good in customer service and love art. This would consist of a more delicate interview process.

The children’s area is literally on another side of the museum. This feels wrong to separate the children art from everyone else. Weather it’s not good enough or they don’t have room. Connecting the gallery can improve traffic when looking at younger artwork. This wouldn’t cost a lot considering a little construction or just moving the art around.
