It was a nice morning when I have decided to take a trip to one of the national museums in Washington DC - The National Museum of American History. It was a great experience to discover something new, and to get some knowledge and a new information about the history of the United States of America. The museum has a collection of historical writing records science, industry and culture objects. The American History museum is very large, and it has three floors .Also, the museum focus on science and transportation and connections between technology and daily life in the early of the history to present.

Never before have I seen a museum as grand as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. From its architecture to its massive art collection, The Met has a little bit of everything and one is sure to find something that captures his or her interest. Considering that The Met is the United States' largest art museum, it is easy to get lost within its many corridors and wings. My visit to The Met took place during the last week of July. Despite the almost unbearable heat and humidity that hung in the air, visiting museums under these climate conditions is a welcome respite from a suffocating, yet bright summer afternoon.

Dale Chihuly is an American glass blower (Dale Patrick Chihuly, 2015). The piece of art I’ll mainly be looking at is Citron and Cobalt Tower. This piece was located directly in the center of the museum as soon as you walked in to the show room. It caught my eye and I knew immediately what I wanted to do my paper on.

The second floor of the museum is filled with paintings and works from the Common Era. These pieces originate all over the world and span centuries. It includes pottery and figurines from first century Asia, suits of armor from the Medieval Era in Europe, to contemporary paintings and sculptures in the Americas. This is where the majority of well-known artwork is located.

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

A museum focusing mostly on European medieval architecture, John D. Rockefeller acquired its early collection in 1925 from the artist and collector George Grey Barnard. Generally speaking,

Since the Museum's opening in 1931, the collection has grown to more than 12,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and photographs, representing nearly 2,000 individual artists and providing the most complete overview of twentieth-century American art of any museum in the

Two of the Frick family’s second-floor bedrooms plus a sitting room and breakfast room will become galleries. Construction, slated to begin in 2017, also will connect the three-story museum with the nearby Frick Art Reference Library, which also opened in 1935. Helen Clay Frick, daughter of the industrialist, founded the library in 1920.

One of the photos that I think had the most significant in this exhibit was a photo titled “Italianate shotgun and Creole cottage”. This

On September 4, 2016, I visited the Matisse in His Time exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This exhibit is home to a plethora of pieces by many different European artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. While it is focused on Matisse and his extensive works, containing more than 50 of his pieces, there are many portraits and sculptures by other influential artists from that time period including Renoir, Picasso, and Georges Braque. Three of the most appealing works that I encountered in this exhibit are Maurice de Vlaminck’s Portrait of Père Bouju, Pablo Picasso’s Reclining Woman on a Blue Divan, and Henri Matisse’s sculpture series Henriette I, Henriette II, and Henriette III.

During this research process, as the curator it was surprising to discover that many of the images featured in this exhibition

Researching a museum before the visit is an important factor in the visitor gaining useful knowledge on the exhibition and experience ahead. Upon visiting the website I was able find large amounts of information pertaining to the Warhol exhibition that would be beneficial for my visit. The website provided concise information on the museum location, parking information in the area, cost of admission, and should expected and gained from the exhibition. The large exhibition has been built to display a timeline of Warhol’s
