Imperial War Museum Case Study

Summer students are integral to the operation of the Museum. They are to have a comprehensive grasp of the operations of the Museum to ensure they can be effective representatives of the history of the 8th Hussars. Doing so ensures that the public will have an interactive and intellectually stimulating exchange leaving the Museum with more knowledge than what they previously possessed.

On January 27th, 2015 I went to the Waterloo Regional Museum located in the city of Kitchener, Ontario. The museum scrutinizes the First Nations people, European settlement at the start of the 1800, the manufacturing peak of the 1900`s and the high sector boom of recent years. Many of the historical artifacts and paintings reminded me of some of the themes discussed in the Discovering the Humanities course. The story of human social development as displayed in the Waterloo Regional Museum focuses on the transition to European settlements. This gradual development can be connected to two main modules in the humanities course: the Iroquian creation story and the modern scientific advancement.

After the opening of the Ninth Fort Museum, many Lithuanian Jewish partisans published their memoirs from the Kaunas ghetto and retold the crimes committed in the fort. Their books were illustrated with photographs captured by the Lithuanian Jewish photographer from the Kaunas ghetto George Kadish and in some of their publications even the identification of Jewish victims managed to surpass the Soviet censorship. Of course, as it will be discussed in this paper, first and foremost, their memories were located within the heroic narrative of the Soviet resistance against the Nazi regime and often had to follow the Soviet guidelines of the war memorialization. Nonetheless, it might be argued that antifascist ideology, which was instrumentalized

Museums have to keep in touch with customers to keep themselves in business. In this day and age, the way to keep in touch with most people is to have a presence on social media with the use of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. YouTube is also an option because it adds connectivity through videos and it gives the museum access to the users on the Google+ side of the social media network. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one museum that has an extensive list of videos to help grow their customer base. Visitors can watch the videos of bands getting inducted from the present such as Cheap Trick or Ringo Starr, or visit the past and watch bands such as Led Zeppelin or The Beatles get inducted. This also adds to their Facebook and Twitter base

The National WWII Museum, originally founded as the D-Day Museum in 2000, offers visitors the chance to delve into the history and legacy of “the war that changed the world.” The museum features exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an extnesive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories, as well as a period dinner theater and

The Canadian War Museum provides an exhibition specifically on ways in which women lives were transiting throughout the First and Second World War. The exhibition laid many artifacts which came from women, such as photographs, voice overs, diaries, and souvenirs. The artifacts played a prominent role in understanding the experience of the World Wars from a woman point of view. The artifacts provide an understanding of the stories that women were facing challenges with. The challenges allowed women to grow and show what they are capable of. Since men were occupied fighting with their allies’ women took control and started participating and working.

For this assignment, I visited the Veteran’s Museum on Mifflin Street. Admission is free to this museum and the only employees there are a gift shop/front desk employee and one security guard. The museum is self-guided, with the option to use headphones to hear recorded explanations about the exhibits. Most patrons walk around and view the exhibits at their leisure. The museum has exhibits about all of the wars the United States has been actively involved in since the United States became a country and highlights the contributions Wisconsin natives have made in these wars. The special exhibit at the museum when I visited was an expansion of their World War I exhibit. Information at the museum was mainly conveyed through displays of

One could image what it would be like to with Saburo Ienaga and John W. Dower on creating a collaborative museum exhibit on the Pacific War. There would be several controversies as for what to incorporate in the museum and how the museum would portray the allied and axis powers. This essay will go into specific details of the United States and Japan's perspectives of the war. Given these perspectives it will allow for an appropriate main theme for the museum's exhibit.

The National Churchill Museum is located in Fulton, Missouri at Westminster College where Winston Churchill held his Iron Curtain speech in the gym of the college. It was very interesting to learn that because of the gym’s historical significance, it has not been remodeled or touched structurally so that it would preserve the history of the place of the speech. Westminster holds a beauty in itself, but the history of the college opens up a whole new meaning and feeling when visiting. Not only does the college offer the exciting experience to learn about Winston Churchill and his Iron Curtain Speech, but it also entails a part of the Berlin Wall and the Church of St. Mary which has significance among its own walls. The museum and the college visit was an unforgettable experience and a chance to truly relive history in modern day.

I went to World War I Museum with other AAP students last Saturday. It was a fantastic trip for me. Moreover, he World War I memorial was a remarkable place to see the whole Kansas City. There were a lot of things are intrigued me, especially the artworks.

My trip to Washington, D.C. was definitely one to be remembered, thanks to everything from the breathtaking sights, to breakfast every morning. Getting to travel all around our nation’s capitol and seeing things like the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial was nothing less than surreal, but if I had to pick one piece in particular that stood out, I would say the Holocaust Museum had the greatest impact on me. Everything about this museum emotionally hit me, from the statistics and information shown on the walls, to even the lighting. The Permanent Exhibit of this museum was very dim, which gave it a more somber feel. Being able to see what the bunks of concentration camps actually looked like really

What's that? You've only got 72 hours to capitalise your time in the Capital? Why not take a stroll down the National Mall that is the front yard for millions of americans or walk through vast open gardens. Museums don’t appeal? The vast culture and food will make you more then happy to overstay your welcome (seriously don’t it's a federal offense.) More often than not, with the wide roads, Washington can be approached from two directions. That of immersing yourself in the plethora of information amongst the fifty plus museums on offer, or to spend time gazing at the thousands of concrete status plonked around the city. Either way you're in for a nice treat which is sure to keep you on your toes. Here is the top 5 things to do in washington

World War II was a war that was forever etched in history as a result of it destruction and overwhelming body count. But who would have thought that this war would have found a way to impact art before it’s time. Before Hitler rose to power, he used the civil war in Spain around 1936 as his personal field test. In response, arts took to their trade to cope with their frustration and express their opinions. Then as war was on the verge of beginning, Hitler stole modern art from Jewish artists and put them in his own show. His show was titled “Degenerate Art,” and it portrayed the artist as demented people who were a hindrance to society. He felt sane people were incapable of producing such abstract art. He went on to sponsor another

Art gallery and art museum are two different types of structure. The major difference between them is that the purpose of the art gallery is to go to discover the artist’s work and with an interest in buying their art. So it's basically a small business to promote and sell art.

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.
