Over the duration of this trimester, we have been working on our projects. Well, some of us more

This memorial is a tribute to 9-11 by showing the younger generations, who weren't around or too young to remember, all about the terrorist attacks on 9-11. By displaying things found in the rubble at the Ground Zero Museum it shows a walk-through of what happened on that day. From the Ground Zero Cross to the names etched around the pools where the towers once stood, it's a remembrance striving to make sure we never forget what happened on the horrible

The Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC is a timeless building and a work of art itself. The building was designed with a contemporary style and is an outward expression of its artistic, belongings inside. I visited the Museum on Tuesday, July 02, 2013, at around 2 in the afternoon. I was within the museum for about 2 ½ hours, observing the exhibits. The building itself exceeded my expectations, but the inside took my breath away. Every detail within was elaborate and intended with thought; from the glass windows, to the straight lines of the architecture, to the

The National September 11 Memorial is a place of remembrance honoring those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The creation of the memorial allow people to come together to reflect on what happened there, not alone but as a community in a public space where people gather and congregate. My experience there was over all a very moving one. I believe every American should visit the memorial and take time to remember the women, men and children that lost their lives at ground

A lot of people did not believe what the government’s story about the attacks. The government claimed that it was true but some people still did not believe them. Other people believed them and respected all the people who died. In between the two waterfalls is a Museum and it has pictures and more facts about all the attacks on the day. It also has some remains and other things that other people had in the museum and it honors people who lived and died. People who risked their life they either survived or did not survive. Many people died on September, 11 2000 and these memorials honor these people that will never be

As you enter the exhibit, the topic first encountered is the U.S. Constitution. After some discussion about

Interestingly, my first visit to the Museum was almost accidental. When I was a freshman, my mother was taking an art class at the College of Staten Island which required a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum, and my brother and I both agreed to accompany her. I will never forget the moment that I first laid eyes on the Metropolitan Museum. Although it was a dark, cold winter night, the shimmering lights made the building most inviting. As we crossed the threshold, I was struck by

Over the weekend, I took the time to explore two museums. The first museum I visited was the D.I.A , also known as the Detroit Institute of Arts. The D.I.A was a very beautiful, multicultural, and unique place. I also took the time to visit and explore the Charles H. Wright Museum of Detroit. Luckily, these museums weren’t too far from each other they were roughly 5-7 minutes apart. The Charles H. Wright Museum was also very beautiful, it was more appealing to me because it is a museum that exhibits and highlights the history of the African American culture. The Charles H. Wright museum also happens to be the largest African American museum in the world.

On July 15, 2016 I visited the Isabel Anderson Comer Museum and Arts Center in Sylacauga, AL. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, tranquil, enlightening, and reflective. I had a few sensory experiences which were hearing because of the sound the wood floors creaking as you walked through and the fact that it was so quiet you could hear the traffic right outside, sight because of all the many different displays of artwork and displays, and smell because of the almost overwhelming odor that I couldn’t pin point. There was one woman working there but she was in the basement cleaning up from an event from the night previous. The woman gave a brief introduction and rushed back off into the basement so I didn’t get a change to get her name. My overall

As the city of Chicago prepped for the 1893 World’s Fair Columbian Exposition, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World, people all over the world brought artifacts to the city. To keep these artifacts in the city long after the Exposition ended, Edward Ayer and Marshall Field established the Columbian Museum. Built using Field’s money, Columbian Museum would go on to house world artifacts as well as function as a research institution. As time passed, the museum eventually changed names to the Field Museum of Natural History and moved buildings to its much larger current location on Museum Campus. Today, the Field Museum continues to be an innovating research institution and stable of the Chicagoland community.

The passage of time continues its long journey as present becomes the past. We, as humans, have always viewed the past as a valuable asset capable of assisting us towards greater heights. We, therefore, strive to preserve our history in order pass it to the next generation, without alterations. To accomplish such a task, our society created monuments—structures that would last for long periods of time and would be able to preserve our memories, understandings and perception of an event and/or a significant personality. Consequently, our country harbors countless monuments and memorials which allow us to understand own history, and comprehend the numerous achievements and sacrifices of those who served the country.

     As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the

    On Wednesday February 1st, 2017, I visited the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda. I had visited this museum when I was in elementary school, however I was blown away at the remodel of all the exhibits and overall presentation of it. The beginning of the tour started you off in a theater where you watched an orientation video on Nixon and his presidency as perceived by other political historians in which I found it to be impressively exceptional. We were then directed into a hallway which was a compilation of the events that happened which led up to Nixon's election and then afterwards it segues into an actual full accurate replica of the Oval

I learned a lot from this trip. It was an unforgettable moment. I loved that Mr. Bierly presented all the pieces then for a person who was the first time visited a museum, I felt that was the best and even for others then already had been in one .I am very sure, it was better and more instructive. I liked that we could have our time to explore more pieces then tried to apply what Mr. Bierly taught in class. One thing that I experienced in the trip, while he was explaining each pieces of art, I was able to understand then apply my knowledge on it. I really enjoyed time in the

I walked over to the group of tourists standing in the entrance hall of the Smithsonian Museum. As I walked, my black heels clicked against the floor, alerting the people to my presence. Once I arrived where the tourists were standing, I started to talk.

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.
