For as long as I can remember, I have loved to learn, particularly about history. Any time period, be it human history, or natural history, I was there, notepad in hand and a head full of questions. So when my family took a trip to Chicago, there was one place I knew I had to visit: The Field Museum. The Field Museum is a world-class natural history museum, housing collections of more than twenty million specimens. It had not occurred to me until that point

My museum visit was such an amazing experience because it was the first time I ever went to such a significant place. The museum I went to was called Via Dolorosa, The Museum of Biblical Art which is located a little outside of Downtown Dallas.

Handler and Gable begin their book, The New History in an Old Museum, by stating that “the basic intention of [their] research project was to study the production and consumption of museum messages in relation to the institutional context” (Handler & Gable 10).

We were sincerely dismayed over the demolition of the Woodcliff manor house, and while we understand that the situation was complex and issues related to both the manor and neighborhood are vexing, the way things transpired, there was not even an opportunity to photo-document the premises.

The museum was a complete surprise. Most of this area of Georgia is very old and need improvement, but when I drove up to the museum, I was pleased. It was the museum, a church, and a cemetery adjacent to one another. In addition, it is surrounded by Spanish moss tress and Georgia wetlands.

There was a designated parking area, and the signs were clearly posted from the highway towards the museum, and upon arrival there were other signs to include one with the hours of operation.
