All across the world there are hundreds of museums filled with history, information, exhibits, and famous documents. A variety of museums display artifacts of a mix of several cultures, historical events, famous people, and art work in the entire museum.

Therefore, museums with the purpose of educating people of a certain topic should only display artifacts
I. Norton Simon Museum II. Introduction A. This research paper will be analyzed of a painting that I observed from the Norton Simon Museum. It’s the painting of Alcibiades on His Knees Before His Mistress, by Louis Jean Francois Lagrenee.

Laurence V. Coleman (1939), who wrote about museums in the U.S. during the 19th century, indicated that the social class of museum learners during the 19th century consisted of adults in the middle class or higher and those considered to be in the bourgeois class, such as museum members and their children. People in the working class, the urban underclass, or disadvantaged individuals with disabilities were excluded from the scope that the museum considered as its pubic audience. Thus, the definition

Like A Fish out of Water I’ll be the first to admit it: I cannot understand art for the life of me. That being said, I’m somehow always tricked into thinking I do. I’ve tried my hand at being one of those intellectuals who goes to art museums for recreation, and enjoys analyzing pictures, paintings and monochromic blobs.
