Bell County Museum Analysis

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

In this book, the author describes the long process it takes to create a national museum that will commemorate the Holocaust. He covers issues such as, the location of it, the design and construction aspects of the museum building. He informs readers about how they’ve tried to represent the Holocaust through the museum with sensitivity. I will use specific facts from this book to show that this museum was built with the help of many and required a lot of thought into it. I will show that this museum does in fact show sensitivity to an individual.

The West Georgia Museum of Tallapoosa is a blast from the past for most of the older generation while the younger generations get to see how their grandparents or great grandparents got to live long before they were born. The overall theme of the museum is honoring and memorializing the old city of Tallapoosa. When exploring the little museum, there are displays of old stores and work offices such as a dentist office or a doctor’s office display from the 1800’s. These displays are interesting to look at because most of the stuff on display in each of these rooms are actual items from that time or very close to that era. When viewing these rooms, there is a button viewers can press which activates a narrator to tell them what they are viewing

The Heard Museum conveys the life and culture of Native Americans in the Southwest, with the help of pre-Colombian to contemporary art and a variety of traditional artifacts. Something that caught my eye was Rosie Yellowhair’s “Emergency Story” sandpainting. It depicts the Navajo creation story and how there were five worlds and what made the people move from the first world to the next. I thought that this was interesting because in class we talked about creation stories about Native Americans and I found those intriguing. So, seeing this sandpainting and knowing that its purpose was to tell its story of creation was astonishing because I’ve never seen a sandpanting that depicted a creation story.

This historic site opened in 1998 to portray the conditions that prisoners lived in during the civil war and other wars. Andersonville National Historic Site and National Prisoner of War Museum provides a harsh viewpoint of what life was like as a prisoner in various wars with exhibits inside and a POW camp outside of the facility. On the outside of the facility, the visitor could see the holding area of the prisoners. This holding area consisted of cylindrical wooden beams posted up with multiple watch towers that surround the encampment. It is now only a single section with one tower remaining. On the inside of the camp, one can see tents set up with pieces of wood and small pieces of cloth. The bulk of the site is mostly open terrain with

The community centered around the museum has a large Jewish base, some of them even work at the museum too. The most profound thing at the museum, for me at

The American Historian James. E. Young expressed his concerns towards the conventional use of museographic means when it came to representing the events of the Holocaust. Young was concerned that the use of conventional museographic representation would allow space for the German people, among many others, to hide their guilty feelings and memories in a display or memorial. (Benton, 2015, p. 237) However, it appears that Young’s worries were rendered mute by the opening of a number of unconventional museums and memorials dedicated to the

“This is going to be so much fun!” I said. Me, my sister, and my two friends, Addison and Julia are avout to enter the Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum!

Museums related to the Holocaust are seen by some to be a “necessary evil.” How can we comprehend the catastrophe that is the death of eleven million? However, even if we might not be able to understand their suffering, we need to understand the history of the Holocaust. For years, Holocaust museums have relied on art, exhibits, and testimony to convey the story of the Holocaust. Yet as we progress further into the twenty-first century, all the survivors will pass, and the means of conveying must change. For instance, the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center have plans to put in place a VR (virtual reality) exhibit that lets you ask questions to a “virtual” survivor of the Holocaust. While this innovational use of VR is impressive,

I was required to go visit at Dallas Art Museum from Art Appreciation class. I went to the Dallas Art Museum and look through the art gallery. I was assigned to identify and write about six different function of art. The six function of art was maintained in the Patrick Frank book Artforms. The six function of art were Art of Delight, Art of Worship and Ritual, Art of commemoration, Art of commentary, Art of persuasion, and Art of Self-Expression. I was told by professor to write a four-page paper base of the six function of art that I was in museum. In the museum there was variety of art from different cultures and country. The histories of art were inside Dallas Museum of Art, many artist artworks were presented and many Gods sculptures and painting were displayed. There were many

“Use a picture. It is worth a thousand words”- by Arthur Brisbane. The photographs in this essay represent the visualization of the perpetrators in three types of exhibits. These exhibits are; the survivor exhibit at Ravensbrück, the female SS guard exhibit at Ravensbrück and the House of the Wannsee Conference. Through the different exhibits, the story of the perpetrators emerges. In the survivor exhibit pictures, the story begins with the path to Ravensbrück to the administrative building. This exhibit highlights the story of the atrocities done by the perpetrators, is what this essay is portraying. The female SS guard story starts the same way, but stops at the guard houses. This story illustrates the making of an SS guard and what punishments these perpetrators went through after the Holocaust. The last exhibit, the House of the Wannsee Conference, tells the story of the administrative perpetrators. It highlights the striking difference of where high ranking officials spent time and their involvement in the decisions of the Holocaust. The exhibits in the essay add to the public memory of the perpetrators and offers the beginning of a holistic account of the Holocaust. Also, it allows individuals to

The Hill-Stead Museum displayed the large art collection of Alfred Pope and his daughter, Theodate Pope. Alfred was the owner of the successful Cleveland Malleable Iron Company, which is where he earned his fortune. They manufactured a modernized, stronger, form of iron and then began producing railway couplings to hold train cars together. The business was extremely successful, as was the owner, Pope. The building is grand and decorated lavishly, filled with valuable art from across the world. In this way, the museum shows how people benefitted from the Second Industrial Revolution, and the lifestyle of those who had money during that period of time. The Museum shows exactly how the wealthy of that period in time lived. From the dishes to

On both July 3 and July 6, 2015, I visited the Children's Museum of Lake Charles. With it being a holiday weekend, the museum was very busy. The children that I observed ranged in age from two to about fourteen with the majority being between the ages of four and eight. There was a wide range of diversity observed during my visit, as there were Asians, Caucasians, African Americans, and Coushatta Indians. There were many visitors from Texas, especially Houston. The art room was very popular because the children were painting flags for Independence Day. Some of the children were focused on their art and wanted to make sure their project was completed to the best of their ability. Others were trying to finish in a hurry to move on to other

The museum was built by Frank and George Roniger as a memorial to their mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Roniger. Later the museum was donated to the County, and is home to an extensive collection of artifacts belonging to the Roniger family. Besides that, there is a collection of historical items related to Chase County. It is an interesting museum especially for those interested in the study of American Indian
