The Government Gives Permission to Build It and the Businesses Mantain

Although a cultural center for entertainment and education, a museum is, at its core, a business. Being such, it must operate as such. Obtaining and maintaining valuable artifacts is expensive; procurement, transportation, upkeep, and security are some of the many costs involved. The revenue generated by the museum has to be sufficient enough to cover these large expenses. For that reason, the cost-effectiveness of a piece must be considered. A famous piece, such as the Mona Lisa, will

What defines a memorial museum as a category of museum? While symbolizing the event and forming public perspectives on it, “the ethics in memorial museums, ethics morality and human deeds occupy the very heart of the topics on display, and correspondingly involve especially careful consideration of representation and reception” (Williams, Memorial museums, 220). Memorial mMuseums should be responsible at when choosing the objects they display, narrating the event and establishing visitors’ memories.

The museum’s exhibits contain hundreds of thousands of artifacts and historically significant items typical of what one finds in many science and history museums. But, what I found most interesting was the Shipwreck display, which brought to life a romantic vision of the swashbuckling times of yore that I read about when I was young.

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.

In 1993, the museum received its accreditation, and in 2001, they re-accredited the museum. They have actively collected around 14,000 historical and cultural artifacts between the period of its founding and the accreditation. In 1998, however, the owners moved the museum to the River Market, and they changed the name to the Museum of Discovery. What made them decide to change? The new facility has a more hands-on and interactive approach that makes science, technology and engineering more fun. If you are taking a bus rental with your family, this place can help to foster a love of learning because everything here is so engaging. They even merged with the Children's Museum of Arkansas in 2003 to address the educational needs of preschool children. Another noteworthy thing that happened in 2003 is how the Museum of Discovery became an affiliate of the

Much like the name suggests, the exhibits revolve around two of the most defining aspects of history, Art and Science. Their galleries include displays from both the past and present, along with a planetarium for shows about our galaxy and the always entertaining laser rock shows. To learn about events and new exhibits coming to the Museum of Art and Sciences, you can visit their website here.

The First Transcontinental Railroad was an extremely exciting topic to learn about and it was very interesting, which is why I chose it as my History Day topic. I chose to portray my project as an exhibit since I decided that it was only appropriate to show these series of events in a more visual, direct way. There were other ways I could have created my final project, such as a documentary, skit, or website; however, I decided that sketching a train and making physical 3D artifacts would be more visually appealing.

After arriving and going through the security screenings, I proceeded to go down the stairs, entering the exhibit itself. Before even observing anything specific, it was immediately realized that this was no typical museum. Most people know that upon arrival, but only when you first enter the exhibit do you realize that this museum is not one that inspects the past, but one that reminds us of it.

The museum is in a mansion and has been since 1971. The museum use to have meeting and get-togethers. Federico Garcia Lorca, Maria Guerrero, Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Rene Dumesnil, and Eduardo Zamacois went to these. They are all famous artists.

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

It was Chicago 1893, the construction of the world fair was to be held there in hopes of promoting how safe the city of Chicago really is. Architects, Daniel Burnham and John Root were given the control to oversee the creation of the world's fair with hopes of making it spectacular. As described in the book as H.H.Holmes

This includes having general exhibits that ranged over multiple time periods of San Luis Obispo having very specific details about the trending clothing. There was also a more recent exhibit about the internment of Japanese citizens during the period of WW2. The exhibits had big posters that stood out to catch the viewer’s eye then more detailed artifacts to really give perspective. I thought the layout of the center was well put together in a fashion that showed a lot so you could learn a lot, but didn’t have too much so a viewer wouldn’t get lost within the exhibits. The only thing I could think about changing would be the outside appearance. With only one sign outside it’s hard to attract anyone that’s not specifically looking for it.

The exhibit contains mostly all the pre historic animals, plants, rocks, and are arranged in chronological order. My favorite dinosaur was the Triceratops. This dinosaur is known for their three horns and bony frill around the back of its head. . It needed its three horns to try and protect itself from the Tyrannosaurus Rex which lived during the same time period. I learned that the Triceratops roamed North America about 67 million to 65 million years ago, during the end of the Cretaceous Period. Also, these herbivore dinosaurs grew about 26 feet in length, 10 feet in height and weighed anywhere between 6 to 12 tons. The Skeletal display at the Museum was not the real skeltons of the Triceratops , it was just a copied replica of the bones that was found in dessseret of Colorado. Overall, I had a great experience at the Museum of Natural Science and it made me want to go to its sister museum at the Houston Museum

What's not to like about the Science Museum? From the Omni Theater to squeezing into a tugboat this museum has something for everyone. Dinosaurs, geology, ancient civilizations, mathematics, weather, electricity, and more will keep both children and adults enthralled. Attend on a special day for kids or experience the

One of the focuses was the Berlin Palace. In it came the Ethnological Museum. The museum was created in 1873 and came from the Royal Prussian Art Cabinet. Although due to the destruction on the Berlin Palace from World War II it was moved to a different location. The new museum was later built in the outer district of Dahlem and was then opened in 1972. Inside this well-known museum there are many historical artifacts from many different countries, which many scholars come to this museum looking for information that they use for research projects due to its vastness and important
