Essay On Broad Museum

Back in my school years I used to visit many historical museums, where I learned a lot about the culture and society of the past. As I have always been interested in history and arts, all that was a breathtaking experience for me. I believe that these museums is the best way to get closer to lives of our ancestries and it can help us to see the world in a different way. However, to be more knowledgeable about the world we live in, it’s also extremely important to be familiar with modern art. So this time I decided to experience something new and started searching for a museum which would contain works of contemporary artists. Tampa Museum of Art was a great option. This Museum was founded in 1979 and since then it has curated three exhibitions covering the Classical World to Mid-Century Modernist works,

The Tenement Museum is prestigious for its fine architecture and history that continues to relive itself. The tours of the museum show the lives of the people who once lived inside the tenements. The tours educate the visitors on historical events and display a museum unlike any other. The following essay will incorporate my experience at the museum along with the stories of the families that once dwelled in these tenements and lived during a time of economic struggle.

One of those negatives is that the museum is misunderstood, so they have very few visitors. This is bad because the museum cannot present their works of art to anybody. Few people know about the museum, and the people who do know think it’s boring. This is because often people have the stereotype that only traditional people can go to museums. However, by creating advertisements, and by raising money for the art curator so that they can pick art that is more interesting for the neighborhood, people will be attracted to the museum. Also, as a student, my advice is that they need to make the museum more visible because before I did not know that there was a museum in Manhattan that represented the Hispanic culture. However, now that I am doing this work about the museum I have realized that the Hispanic Society of America is very interesting and an incredible museum to know, and because of that, we have to do campaigns and field trips to make the museum more

When a museum has prestige on a national level, they can be under high scrutiny of exhibits or objects displayed by the public. Controversial topics, for example, the Enola Gay exhibit, has left historians hesitant and confused on how to create exhibits with correct history, but also not upsetting any individual who were involved with said history. Historians have a trying task of addressing both sides of a historical event, even though it might depict individuals in an unflattering way. A historian is not allowed to have a bias for events, this could have an impact on the way an exhibit is created. Another point that was brought to light in Bunch’s article was museums have the ability to educate the public, so difficult topics should not be

The first room of the museum pulled in the audience with artwork from the 20th century. Although it may seem like artwork put together at the last minute, if you look closer, you will see something entirely different. Each piece had so much detail and unique qualities, such as style and art form, that you haven't see in many other museums before. It is important to appreciate the erratic design and character of each piece of art, but after seeing the entire museum, it is easy see the monumental difference between art now, and the art of our past. Art of the past showed a lot more

After arriving and going through the security screenings, I proceeded to go down the stairs, entering the exhibit itself. Before even observing anything specific, it was immediately realized that this was no typical museum. Most people know that upon arrival, but only when you first enter the exhibit do you realize that this museum is not one that inspects the past, but one that reminds us of it.

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.

One of the finest French artists of the 19th century thought of by many is William Bouguereau. He was well known for his traditional

In my opinion, the weakest aspect of the exhibit was the blue photographs. I did not enjoy looking at them as much as I did with the other pieces. They looked like they were just printed out last minute and pinned up on the wall. All of the other pieces had a beautiful three-dimensional effect, while these were loosely attached to the wall. The pictures looked like they had been bent slightly due to the air and that made them look unprofessional. They also had far less detail than the other pieces, especially in comparison to the tiles that had a lot going on in one small piece. I also think that it would have been better to have them

The de Young museum seen from a distance is a bold architectural statement, with its sleek horizontal building, indeterminate dark brown color and its massive tower emerging from its slightly bent curving roof. The building is an example of boldness, internationalism and cultural neutrality. Its setting in the Golden Gate Park’s landscape with the topography, vegetation; weather and light are taken advantage of. The significance of nature and the art that is housed in the museum from the Americas, Oceania, and Africa can be seen as having resonance in the architecture. Many of the works of art are sacred in their cultures, are made of natural materials and were never intended to be displayed in formal settings. Post modern theme of ‘context’ comes into expression as Jacques Herzog put it: “These objects belong to nature. We wanted to emphasize that”.

The Broad Collection is a contemporary art museum being built in downtown Los Angeles. When completed, it will showcase Eli and Edythe Broad's art collection, consisting of nearly 2,000 prominent works of art. The building’s façade was designed to look honeycomb-like and include a glass curtain wall. Seele Inc., a Germany-based engineering company, was hired as a subcontractor to begin work on the facade in 2012, after spending three months consulting with the New York City architecture firm of Diller, Scofidio + Renfro, who created the original renderings. The Broad Collection is now suing Seele, alleging that the engineering firm put the project at least 15 months behind schedule. Additional claims against the engineering firm include breach of contract, specific performance, and fraud in the inducement.

I felt as though it was just a completely different setup, the mahogany wood did not fit well with the plain white stonewalls of the rest of the exhibits. It was also set up as if it was a house with couches and tables but they were not for sitting on and so it just takes up space. It can be distracting from actual paintings displayed there. However, other then the distractions the mahogany wood was beautiful. It almost transported the viewers into a different time period. It was a weird choice when compared to the rest of the museum, but if you were to examine just those two rooms by their selves then you can appreciate the effort took in designing the setup. The last thing that has not been addressed with the critique is the setup of the gift shop, however, I personally did not get the opportunity to look into the gift shop so I can not comment on its setup, but if the gift shop is anything like the rest of the museum then I am sure that it is a nice store with great products for sale.
