The Girl Museum

The main purpose of the museum is to amaze the new generation and to show how life was like back then. There were many things I was amazed by of how people survived the passed. Nowadays people can't stand a day without internet, but back then people stay days without eating and managed to survive. This explains why the latest generation is lucky to be living in this generation. Mostly the museum purpose is to entertain the

Over the spring break, I chose to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my friends Irene and Mei. We explored many exhibits such as The Egyptian Art, The American Wing, and Asian Art. I saw statues, ceramics, textiles, pottery, and paintings. I really enjoyed looking at the Sphinx and sarcophagus in the Egyptian Art section. The interior design of the museum was so well planned out in each exhibit from the lighting of the room to the smell. The interior design of the museum was so exquisite especially the atmosphere it created. I felt like I could explore the corners of the world in one building.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an extraordinary New York site. For me, the Egyptian exhibit is especially meaningful because it engenders personal pride in the contributions of my ancestors and challenges me to use my talents to impact society in a positive

The museum representatives were very nice and helpful. Entering the Charles H. Wright museum, my fiance and I were stopped by a cameraman who worked at the museum. The cameraman was very welcoming, encouraging, and persistent. Entering the D.I.A, the representatives at the desk were very respectful and understanding. Admission was free to the D.I.A for all Wayne County residents; however; I forgot my state I.D at home and the lady was kind enough to accept an old check stub as proof that I resided in Wayne County. Both museums were very clean and quiet, with the exception of the kids who were enjoying the moment. Comparing the two, my most favorite exhibit would have had to be the slave ship I mentioned at the Charles H. Wright museum. The slave ship is more than an exhibit, it’s like two minutes in a slave’s shoes. Walking through the dark ship, I could slightly imagine and empathize the life of slaves on that ship. My least favorite thing was a picture that I’ve attached to the essay. The picture is of a black slave beating another slave while the Master’s watched. Though the image may represent the truth, I’m not a big fan of ugly truths - especially when they don’t compare to the bigger

As I was walking around the museum, I was shocked and in complete desire when me and my friends walked into a large circle roof type architecture. It was absolutely amazing to be inside and under it. Finally, we reached our destination which was the Mummy exhibit and were impressed with what they had on site.

I read new information on events that occurred in our city and that helped me know my city better. It was very interesting to read and see many events that my professor had covered in class. I enjoyed seeing how Americans lived in the past. Regarding education, children started going to school and some of their desks were displayed in the museum. There were also samples of clothing that people used to wear during the 1950’s and 1970’s. Therefore, I learned the way that people used to live many years ago. I learned that George Eastman created the photographic film and also improved it by creating the “Brownie”. This was a box camera that introduced the snapshot. Film and cameras became commercial due to the Brownie. Radios, telephones, and televisions improved American lives. In my visit to the museum I got the opportunity to experience very closely how people used to live in the Rio Grande Valley. I learned that the advances in technology, battles, revolutions, and railroads created what is now

I personally enjoyed indulging in the social history of the 1950’s and 1960’s. I also appreciate the accuracy that her family was able to influence on the museum. I always wonder if the sets are accurate representations and I’m impressed that many of Cline’s family members were so forthcoming in sharing their experiences to influence the exhibits.

Looking through the exhibits some of the information brought forward was quite interesting. Learning what clothing was worn throughout previous years was very interesting. Seeing

For my Museum visit I chose to go to the Atlantic County Historical Society in Somers Point, NJ. When I originally had gone I didn’t know what to expect exactly. I thought for the most part they would talk to me about the history of Atlantic county which they did however they had amazing objects and memorabilia that date back centuries. They had everything from old toys made of amazing wood to guns that were heavier then I had originally anticipated. While I was there the staff told me stories about everything from famous spots in Atlantic City to Margate even some things about my hometown of Absecon.

A journey to New Worlds originates The exhibition is magnificent and two pieces that I enjoyed were Our Lady of Mount Carmel with Bishop Saints, and Our Lady of Pomata, a coquera. It is extremely quite as people stop in different areas to look around at so much art. I personally

Visiting the museum gave me a close look of what I am studying in anthropology. By spending time with the exhibits, the people and in that environment, it gave me a lot of information of what people have been through and how horrible it was back then. As I started to walk out, I read this on the wall, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” from Declaration of Independence,

The comparison between a primary school classroom and the Ragged school museum is that they both promote Auditory/verbal Learning. Similarly within the primary classroom where the teacher is talking at the children giving out information and instructions this approach is also used at the ragged school museum where the tour guide comes in to talk about the history of Victorian children. According to Donohue and Mototsune, (2012) “Talk is not only beneficial, but also essential for certain skills to develop”. This relates to children's learning at both these settings, when the teacher and the tour guide are verbally talking, the children are able to take in and absorb this knowledge. If children are unsure about anything they can ask questions

2253 N. Broad st lies on the southeast corner of Broad and Dauphin streets and is the home to the Philadelphia Doll Museum.

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

The VMFA stores a diverse selection from many periods, from the awe inspiring and dramatic works of the Mughal Empire to the ecclesiastical leaded glass windows of the famous Louis Tiffany. I have always had a passion for the arts and thrived on the atmosphere of the museum.I have many fond memories from my summer interning in the Education Department with Jessica Bauserman. As a “Teen Tern,” I and three other students were chosen from a plethora of applicants that had been enrolled in the Museum Leaders in Training Program. In that program I was able to gain valuable skills such as proposal writing, event planning, time management, and become proficient with VMFA library resources. In order to learn proper editing for an upcoming microsite I was able to research a piece of art, Our Lady of Piety, which opened my eyes to the broad scope of European history that wasn’t confined to Europe and satisfied my interest in art.
