Ghost Prison Experience

The museum focuses on teaching and making visitors aware of the local culture that once was. Its main exhibits are farming tools and items you would see and use on a working

The presentations of glass objects as well as pieces of furniture are the next stop in the exhibition. We view a couple of lamps which have exquisite detail. The Lamp Bearing Youth (see Fig. 3) which was utilized as a home decoration seems to be more of an artifact. A young and fit man, presumably Apollo, stands in the now prominent cross balance posture. We then see objects such as the two Table Supporters and the Four Flasks. The two table supporters are very intricate objects, for they portray an almost devilish animal with a lion’s leg. On the other hand, the four flasks express the beauty of glass blowing with the exquisite colors and movements of lines. At the end of this room we are taken to The Moregine Triclinium which is a beautiful room with an empowering color of red. The room has what seems to be the second

For this project, I chose the Tampa Museum of Art. My daughter Annabelle, who is eleven, accompanied me. She is an aspiring young artist who loves to paint and assemble collages. This paper will describe our trip, the museum’s activities, and what was on exhibit. After which, I will choose two works of art and preform an analysis on them. I will employ the formal elements and the principles of design to engage the first piece, “The Great Journey”. With my second choice “A Group of Cubans who left Manzanillo are Rescued at Sea”, I will discuss how applying an alternative contextual analysis would help in understanding the meaning behind the painting more.

The openness causing you to want to explore and discover what this museum has to offer.

To highlight the relationship between each of the exhibitions, the staff could provide daily visitors with a cohesive guide map of the entire museum. The current location of the museum is massive to accommodate for the displays as well as three research laboratories, but due to large size, each exhibit feels isolated and

The Dallas Museum is a renowned art museum established in 1903 and is located in Dallas, Texas (Neumann et al. 19). The Dallas Museum of art is one of the largest art museums in the United States of America containing more than 24,000 collections of art ranging from the ancient to the modern ones (MacDonald & Brettell 112). There are numerous things inside the museum, such as the pieces of art, museum visitors, and the architecture, that relate to the understanding of the world outside the museum in terms of the day to day life and the human society. My goal in this essay is to think outside the box and describe the observations I made inside the museum and explain how they relate to my everyday life, the wider world, or the human society.

Interestingly, the building is similar to a tepee in that there was a small window on the top of the rounded celling. Even the elevator was spacious and adorned with tribal symbols. Therefore, before one even enters the exhibit, it is clear that the narrative is one that celebrates culture. Even Atalay, a Native American author recognizes that “… the NMAI aims to ‘recognize and affirm’… Native cultures… and [advance] knowledge and understanding of those cultures” (Atalay 600). Thus creating a sharp contrast from that of the Holocaust. Despite the hardships and the genocide which befell the Native Americans, this museum has a different narrative to preserve, one rich with culture, rather than brutality. The differences displayed in architecture and design help effectively deliver each narrative because they visually and psychologically affect each visitor, adding a deeper layer to the story, effectively conveying each

For my enrichment report, I decided to take a trip to the Los Angeles County Museum. However, I was trapped with the challenging choice of choosing only one museum for my cultural visit. Since, there are so many prodigious and amazing museums to choose from to visit in the county. But, I have heard many great feedbacks about the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from fellow classes mates, friends and family. So, I finally, had my destination set to and planned a visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Upon my visit my attention was already fixated on the unique building layout and the many arts exhibited located all around the outside of the museum building. There were several building that housed the many different art exhibits. Such as the first building I walked into, after purchasing a ticket. This building was called the “Ahmanson” building, which housed voluminous and diverse art of the European, Islamic, South and Southeast Asian Art, Art of the Ancient World, Art of the Pacific and Others. There were also many special exhibitions that was hosted at the time of my visit, such as the modern art gallery and Rifkin Gallery for German Expressionism. One of the sculpture centered in the middle of the building of the “Ahmanson” building called “Smoke” really caught my attention. As it quite an enigmatic and stunning metal sculpture that mesmerizes illusions based on your interpretation and perspective of the piece.

So many people see history as something dry and lifeless but in reality it is a study that is full of life. There is no better way to see this than through the lens of archaeological artifacts. The people of the past are intrinsically a part of these objects. They were shaped by human hands; some were used in everyday life while others only meant to be appreciated as art. In any case, they show the vitality of history which can sometimes be obscured by the centuries. I want to work with a collection that deals with archaeological artifacts, and ideally I would like to work with objects of Greek or Roman origins. One day I would like the opportunity to create an exhibit where the viewer can see how the objects relate to a whole as well as their own individual characteristics. I want others to have the same sort of experience I had while walking through the Byzantine and Christian Museum; I want them to have a moment of connection to the past and see how alive history can be. I am especially interested in the courses that the Museology program offers which teach the proper methods to curate archaeological collections. The experience of working with the objects in the Burke Museum will benefit my goal of curating a

The Missouri State Museum provides an environment that can introduce diversity and cultural stimulation to children. The museum wants to be a part of the diverse team that provides support for families and staff aiding child development socially, emotionally as well as physically. Providing multicultural experiences and opportunities to teach children tolerance, respectfulness and accepting of differences is part of learning diversity. Diversity cannot be taught directly, it is not a part of a curriculum or a lesson plan. Diversity or multicultural education is a continuous approach to working with children, parents, families and the community. By children learning of people different from themselves, being exposed to activities, materials and personal experiences, they learn to enjoy and appreciate differences. Children discover there are a variety of ways to solve a problem, complete a task or answer a question. There are many people of different cultures that visit the State Capitol for a variety of purposes. These individuals also explore the State Museum which is located on the first floor of the capitol. This allows an opportunity for children to be exposed to a variety of diverse people. By exploring and investigating what is unfamiliar, children are exposed to new discoveries. A variety of perspectives in the museum’s exhibits and interactive areas allow cross cultural communication through sight and hearing. By touching a computer screen or triggering an

It showcases the dense, extensive and delicate connections in the artist’s experimental practices, which includes performance, installations, prints, photographs, films and paintings. The show reveals the transgression with the thematically structured six main galleries with an impressive display of Parr’s diaries in the foyer, films in the theatre and the artist’s archive, ‘Information Centre’. According to Parr, he said, “But in the foyer, I must say, there’s this rather beautiful pop-up space, which is nearly confined entirely to language pieces, and outside this space on the curved wall we’ve got 40 beautiful vitrines..and I’ve displayed 45 years of diaries. So the foyer’s got all of this text, and it’s very intimate.” The diaries were a very clever idea that gave a lot of help to the audience in terms of better understanding of the

Recently I have interacted with public history issues common in an archival and museum settings such as the interpretation of objects and historical displays. Regarding previous coursework, in Historical Methodology, I learned that the interpretation of exhibits could provide a special atmosphere on a subject in history that can influence an audience’s opinions on an event. At the historical society, I came across this issue when setting up an exhibit describing the Los Alamos community during the Manhattan Project. Such artifacts as the original iron gate to the laboratory’s processing building in Santa Fe during World War II provides tourists with a sense of heritage allowing them to form their questions and views of the community’s history. With the presentation of the gate and several other objects allowed those that visited the historical society’s museum with a connection to the past. Regarding this, I encountered questions about the community’s connection to the Manhattan Project and opinions on the use of the bombs on Japan by the museum’s visitors. Also, I have experienced how interactive exhibits have taken the place of actual objects. The new addition of the museum features several interactive displays on the Cold War. Though

The exhibition is organized systematically and chronologically, as well as sequentially. Each segment has a title, supplemented by a detailed description which gives context to the content. This makes for easy transitioning through the various sections of the show. To the curator’s credit, the audience will find these descriptions extremely useful. Without them as a guide it would be difficult to keep track of the sequence in which the objects are organized. The personal accounts of the artist’s experience of the war are also useful. They add a context to the circumstances surrounding the artist during that time. Such a device strengthens the viewer’s understanding of the object being displayed.

First of all, initiative of thinking of people might be provoked in the museum. For interpreters, the prior thing they want to achieve is that visitors can be attracted and give a feedback about their exhibition. In terms of visitors, Michael Baxandall divided visitors’ purpose of engaging in the museum into two aspects. Interesting objects and partly culture are the aims of coming to the museum for people. During the period of exploring the objects what they are interested in, people might have desire to know some more relevant objects. In psychology, William

Pierre Chareau was a successful designer whos clientel was for the French Jewish elite. Because of German occupation a lot of Pierre Chareaus furniture pieces were separated, along with himself and his career. By using the screens the exhibit was able to connect the furniture pieces. The shadow figures representing those who once used the furniture pieces sends chills down your spine. The silhouettes of a woman sitting at her vanity and the man sitting on his sofa having a smoke are two of the scenes that are shown at the exhibit. Instead of staring at an empty vanity or a lonely sofa, you are given these scenarios to just watch and observe. This interactive display brings serious tone to the exhibit that strengthens the connection with Pierre Chareau as you move
