Is Visited The Mutter Museum?

Douglas Crimp begins his essay by delivering a story about a librarian, Julia Van Haaftan and how she was interested in the photography organization at the Art and Architecture Division of the New York Public Library. In addition, Crimp delivers his most enlightening and meaningful point by explaining how Julia Van Haaftan is also now a “director of the Photographic Collections Documentation Project”. She discovered several lost books and photographs, which she researched, re-categorizing, and placed them under the photography or art category in the photographic collection. I found this section of the essay entertaining because it demonstrates that the history books can get lost

The origin of these organs concern people on both a medical and moral level. In a

The author, Leslie Fiedler writes about the differences in what it means to be normal. She discusses this in a professional manner that opens eyes to what we have disguised and even been ashamed of. “The Tyranny of the Normal,” we learn much about what we perceive as abnormal and what society seems to portray normal as. We discover what we believe is normal and also what has changed through-out the history of this subject. Our minds are opened and exposed to the world of abnormalities and how we see them.

(A cadaver is a dead human body donated for scientific research and study). I already knew such desires of mines could not yet be fulfilled by a young adolescent me. Instead of taking such a far-fetched approach, I chose to approach my desire by dissecting a dead animal, and it just happened to be a coincidence that I had to dissect a dead cat for my Anatomy and Physiology Class. Of course, a cat is not the same as a human being and a dead cat is even farther from an a human being. Nonetheless, I was content with a cat because according to Animal Corner, “A cat’s skeleton is very similar to that of a human being” (1).

Have you heard of the Holocaust Museum located in Washington D.C? It is the largest Holocaust related Museum in all of America and as of June 2015, 38.6 million people have visited the museum, 24% of which are school children. Visiting the museum is very moving, and once you enter the exhibition, it is eerily silent, except for the several videos playing throughout the museum. Planning on heading to the National Holocaust Museum soon? It will be a moving experience, and bringing your kids would help their education along as letting them know what really happened.

One day my dad and i went to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Israel. We went everywhere except from the place where was children under 14 years old were not allowed. My dad said that this place would be shocking but i thought we should still go. Why did he think it was shocking? Well, because millions of women, children, and men were brutally killed during the Holocaust.

On the fourth of April, our senior class went to the holocaust museum as part of our senior class trip. There, we learned and experienced the holocaust through first-hand accounts and testimonies from the survivors of this atrocity. We had several hours to explore the four floors of this museum, but there is so many artifacts and information, you would need days to absorb it all. The entire museum is an impactful experience that makes you reflect on everything you have in your life. The most impactful thing in the museum, for me, did not come in the form of an artifact or picture, but from the people there at the museum.

Anatomy, the study of the human body, is a discipline of the medical sciences that flourished beyond precedent during the 17th and 18th centuries in Western Europe. During this time, many physicians, anatomists, and doctors began to not only investigate anatomy more seriously, but also to teach anatomy to more people. Dissections of cadavers became more common at learning establishments and more accepted by the general public, and by government authorities. Anatomical theatres were constructed for the mass teaching of dissections, and any and all bodies from criminal hangings were donated as cadavers to the universities. As trends grow and become popular problems are bound to become known. In anatomy, this problem was the shortage of cadavers

As I walked up to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) for the first time, I was overwhelmed with amount of visitors that occupied the steps to the entrance and wondered if this visit was the best choice. I opened the front doors to the museum and stepped inside; my immediate impression of the place reminded me of my first experience at Grand Central Station. Initially, I was overwhelmed and distracted by the hustle and loud noise around me, yet at the same time, I found myself mesmerized by the architectural beauty and layout of the place.

“Get rid of the Jews!” We know that the holocaust involved Hitler killing and torturing Jews, but behind the curtains what happened to their world full of light?

Since 2004 the Foundling Museum has stood as a site to memorialise the Georgian Foundling Hospital; this institution cared for London’s abandoned children, foundlings. In a recent podcast, Laura Gowing described the stories of these children and their mothers as ‘hidden histories’. She claims that the Foundling Museum offers a narrative for figures who are otherwise overlooked by historians. This essay will assess Gowing’s statement by first discussing the way in which the museum presents the hospital’s abandoned children. Here, a particular focus on temporary exhibitions will show how the narrative

I have just one question, do these people know how not to be weird? Do I even know how not to be weird? If not, then do I embrace it or try to break away from the characteristically induced infection? Something about this society made me question my whole entire life. The substance that these people thirst for enlightened, yet shattered my very existence into millions of fractals. I observed how they gawked at the nimble fluidity of the foreign dancers and the swaying images of black hair that immersed us in its rich midnight Cimmerian shade. All of a sudden I noticed a dewy mass tripping lightly along the bulge of the enamored audiences’ bottom lips, then creeping down to the curvaceous forms of their chins. Gross. Unexpectedly, my hands which

For the past two-hundred years, dissection of the human cadaver has been the gold standard for teaching aspiring medical professionals the networking and layout of the human body. Surprisingly, cadaver usage has had a rather curious history.

Life consists of constant cycles of spontaneous outbursts of joy and unexpected disappointments; there is an upside to this repetitive tug of war. On this rock we call home, we are surrounded by the most gorgeous creations, structures, and landscapes that add a touch of serenity to our miserable existences called aesthetics. Aesthetics as an adjective is defined as concern with beauty of the appreciation of beauty. As a noun it means a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement. The surrounding beauty that we take for continuous granted is significant towards our existence. In everyday interaction, we straddle the line between aesthetic judgement, where we appreciate any object, instead
