Hum 111 Week 10 Assignment 3 Strayer

Museums have long served a purpose as cultural staples. For every museum, big and small, careful consideration is used in selecting its contents. When securing new items for a museum, it is most important to consider public appeal, educational value, and cost-effectiveness.

The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.

Please do not touch any of the artifacts included in the exhibit, and show respect to other visitors by remaining quiet throughout the exhibit. If taking pictures, please ensure that your flash is turned off. If you require assistance or have any questions during the tour, ask one of the museum attendants. Refer to the floor plan for guidance through the exhibit.

: I love museums, particularly children’s museums and the way they must be designed to be both educational and fun for the children involved. This would be Malcolm’s second trip to this Children’s Museum, which I thought would be a good time for me to try to play with him in different ways because he would be familiar enough that he wouldn’t be too distracted by all the new toys and possibilities to stay in one place for long, but there would still be some novelty and excitement to the

I think the Marinetti Shrem Museum was an interest museum that the students should visit. The museum is not very big comparing to other museum, and they don’t even have map for the visitors since it’s a small museum. The museum was separated into different rooms; there is room for the art exhibition, and room for student’s collection. Personal belonging bags are not allow to bring inside the art gallery, but what I like about the museum was that it provide a self-check locker when I can storage my backpack for free. There are also some information sheets that are placed on the counter when visitors can get it for free. Inside the gallery there is lot of different kind of arts, things like toilets that made of ceramic, paintings, drawings, and

I learned that museum trips for the purpose of learning or not just to take time away from the school or as a “reward” for students; rather, the teacher must make connections to the classroom learning and see the museum activity as another resource method to engage children. As Erdman suggests, “Collaboration with a museum takes planning to ensure the process is effective for everyone. As with any aspect of education, goal setting and reflection are key” (p. 18). Moreover, I recognize the value of Erdman’s article is its germane inclusion of technology. Erdman’s discusses how more museums “are embracing the potential of a digital museum” (p. 17) and with more schools looking to use 1-to-1 laptops, could provide teachers with another avenue for student learning. Again, I recognize the importance for an effective incorporation of museum education will need careful panning because “Collaboration with a museum takes planning to ensure the process is effective for everyone” (Erdman, 2016, p. 18). In short, I recognize three important ideas from the week’s readings—connecting museums to early childhood development, my own understanding of the purpose of museums, connecting museums to student learning—provided me with a foundation and motivation to incorporate museum education to my

The premises of the Museum are also well kept. I was also amazed to find out that the visit to the Museum is completely free. Since it’s a public place, no one charges any person for the things that they view at the place.

My first impression of the museum was that I thought the design of the building was nice and before I knew anything more about the museum I knew that it was a contemporary art museum from the architecture. Once inside we weren’t sure where we should go first, some people went into the gift shop and some followed other people up the escalator to the third floor where the majority of their artworks were displayed. There were some pieces that I very much liked and others that I thought were just expensive and made to show off. But my overall impression of the museum was good. About two months later I went to the art exhibit at USD. This exhibit was much smaller but very well done. I liked how everything was arranged. I thought the art works complemented each

I did a quick run through of the museum and participated in the tour so much of what I learned came from the tour guide. The museum is a 30 minute drive from my home it was the closest one, so I will be going back on Friday with my children to do a more in-depth analysis and more information will follow in my comments. This site is on the National Registry of Historic Places

Not every student learns easily by reading a textbook, many students learn better with visuals, listening, and experience and prefer to learn that way. The Met provides NYC students with different ways to learn about what is being taught in class. In many cases students are just reading what they need for homework or memorizing facts for a test. With visiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC teenagers are giving the opportunity to not just memorize, but understand the matter. Not only would this museum help students by letting them learn about history through the important artifacts and art in each exhibit, they can listen to the significance of them with the audio guides. Walking through the museum could help them understand not only their

Museums not only hold artifacts from the past, but enables us to connect to the events and people in that time period. On the beautiful afternoon of last Wednesday, I visited the Oaklands Mansion in Murfreesboro, TN. I went with a friend and joined the last tour of the day.

In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting some of the museums’ similarities and differences, as well as discussing some of the museums’ attributes that make me want to visit them the most. I will be comparing

A museum is a place where we can find collection of things of the past at one place where we get an unknown information known just by a visual treat.

The similarity in the classroom and the museum is learning is taking place in both places. The information being taught is the same, but one major difference is the way the information is being presented. One difference is the classroom is restricted to the displays that can be showcased at any given time and there is a certain way the materials must be delivered, books oppose to displays. The classroom has a specific curriculum and a certain structure on how to teach it. At the museum the children have a variety of exhibits halls they can visit, freedom to explore, do hands –on activities, and listen to a video if they choose. There is no test or lessons to remember. Whereas, the information may be the same taught in both the classroom and

Not many times have I been to a museum. This was the first art museum I have been to and it was great. It gave me a better understanding of art and seeing these art pieces/ clothing, armor really made me appreciate these artists. Something I could never do, these men and women are so talented. The people who work there are incredibly nice and helpful. All the information is right in front of you or to the side so people cannot miss it. There is also a description which gives a good bit of information. I was thoroughly impressed with the Habsburg collection in person you get them to see the quality of the pieces and see everything that is going on. The colors are real and not over saturated or anything. They are simply done with care and they look really good. The details are outstanding; you really get to see what the artist intended. The atmosphere you are not rushed into seeing specific pieces of work you go at your pace and if you have questions you ask them. It is a very relaxing experience and makes you comfortable. I am not an art critic or art historian but what I can say is that I have never felt more appreciated of artwork. It would be very similar if I went to a concert of my favorite artist. Computers, pictures and everything else cannot beat the live experience. One piece that really took me away was The Crowning with Thorns (Caravaggio), it was fairly large but it looked so good. The attention of detail is
