The Hackensack Water Works Museum

Founded in 1965, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History showcases the world's largest permanent exhibit on African American culture. My visits there are always educational and profoundly moving. The museum has an incredible perspective on the past and the present journey of African Americans. At the same time, it takes us on a comprehensive journey of the African American contribution to the world. Today, I will take us on that journey and paint a vivid image of Charles H. Wright Museum.

The Carnegie Museum of Art was a museum created to focus on the art of tomorrow rather than already popular art and artists of today. A necessary part for that dream of Andrew Carnegie to become a reality is having a place to house these art pieces. While of course he could have just found an empty warehouse and placed all the art there that would neither have given the pieces of art justice nor would anyone want there personal collection to be placed on display there. Instead, in order to have a successful art museum you have to house the art in a place that does it justice. Museums heavily rely on their architecture to accurately portray and supplement the showpieces within the museum. Carnegie’s art museum

The Robert Russa Moton Museum, is located in Farmville, Prince Edward County, Virginia. In 1939 it was known as Robert Russa Moton High School. It was a single-story brick building that contained six classrooms and a small auditorium. The building was holding about five-hundred students yet it was built to only hold one-hundred and eighty students. This was a school for African Americans students only. The large well equipped whites only Farmville High School served as a reminder to the students of Moton High School that it was separate but definitely not equal. There were many major differences between the two high schools. In Monton High School they were forced to learn in shack like buildings that lacked a proficient heating source. The

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

Imagine life without water, what affects do you think will come? Water is not only an important source of nature but a  necessity to living life through human society. Our group believe in the importance of water and realize that without Central Arkansas Water the future for our area would lack in a necessity in daily living. We wanted to know more about the complications CAW experiences, the current improvements to the system, and the future plans that will lead Central Arkansas to a new level of water enterprise. In the water sector of Infrastructure there are many important sub-sector to the transportation of water, but water treatment is the most important in our Central Arkansas area.

I was originally planning on spending my time observing and participating in different museum locations, but with the two education classes I was taking, I also ended up learning a lot about different school settings as well. And what was most interesting was comparing them and seeing where the similarities were. I would have categorized them as schools and museums, but those would be false categories.

The National WWII Museum, originally founded as the D-Day Museum in 2000, offers visitors the chance to delve into the history and legacy of “the war that changed the world.” The museum features exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an extnesive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories, as well as a period dinner theater and

Aside from the Brooklyn Museum, the only museum I had been to in the last four years would be the Met Breuer. As I was instructed to visit the Diane Arbus exhibit at the Met Breuer, I imagined the same type of scenery any museum would look like; high ceiling, large frames, and a collection of detailed and colorful work. It occurred to my surprise when instead I saw an identical collection of same sized frames, of just people, in what seemed to be black and white. As I took a deeper glance, I noticed almost none of the people photographed were smiling. It appeared that they were candid photos, yet they all looked directly at the camera. Arbus’ photos were drawn to unusual public places and scenery in black and white with some surreal contrast portraits. I noticed the raw images of peculiar people often brought focus on those who may be the outliers of their society; transgender, dwarfs, nudists, circus clowns, and even children. There were various particular themes that struck a chord with me, however, among the many images I came across during my search, I found Arbus’ portraits on transgender people provoke the most emotion and intrigue. The wide variety of each portrait as well as the ways she chose to portray them told a story of both lives and culture within her lifetime. Being particularly interested on transgender people, I was captivated with the complexities of her work and the way that she transcended so many boundaries which constantly had me question the theme she

The Los Angeles Natural History Museum houses over 35 million specimens, some of which date back 4.5 billion years.

Long Pond Ironworks began with the intention of transforming iron into a better product. Throughout the next couple of years, Long Pond Ironworks would be managed by a series of foremen and provided iron for the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War. Within each war, Long Pond provided crucial iron that led to victory. Its iron has its place in history for preventing British invasion and its constant use in guns and ammunition. After a long reign in the iron industry, iron fell into decline, causing Long Pond to become a ghost town of ruins. Today, Long Pond Ironworks is now a state park where one can enjoy hiking while being immersed in the park’s history. However, the Long Pond Ironworks has only been maintained as a glimpse to its previous form. If action is not taken to preserve the site, others will not be able to visit the site to learn of the Long Pond’s long history in the future. The Friends of the Long Pond Ironworks, made of volunteers, work on restoring the site to its former glory by creating countless opportunities for anyone to invest into Long Pond’s preservation. Opportunities that may be as simple as attending a Long Pond event to participating as an organization volunteer. However, these opportunities were not and are not being taken advantage of. Therefore, in order to continue preserving the historical

We planned to visit Mill City museum after a friend recommended that we check it from the Minnesota Historical site. The museum is the most important and historical place where anyone who wants to know more about the Minnesota people. The museum contained historical articles and information. A lot of stuff was available including plant species and human origin. We later made our way to the science museum where displays of evolution. The main building of the Museum has its entire floor with colorful animated dioramas that display their traditional costumes of Minnesota people. On reaching the museum, we were met with a tour guide who took us through the place and described everything that we wanted to know about the Minnesota.

Intrinsically intriguing as the artworks and themes are for many viewers, what lies with greater uniqueness is the visual context of art, as emphasized by Helena. Artworks, despite the era or time period, are always initially distinguished based on the surface; for example, what’s present and what’s going on. As I tour the Grohmann Museum with Helena, I was taught to look at the furthest distance in the portrait rather than the surface.

Royal Ontario Museum is known to be one of the best attractions in Toronto. Out of all the guests, according to the ROM’s exit survey, 71% of guests were families. Furthermore, younger visitors, including millennials, were more general visitors whom came to with no specific purpose. A study from the National Endowment for the Arts found that in 2008 23-24% of the millenials went to a museum once in a year. In 2012, only 18-22% of the millenials did so (GBriff, 2015). The museums are consistently experiencing drop in younger visitors. The ROM, knowing the potential of attracting younger generations, seeks to appeal to the millennials by conducting best and current practice research. The objective of this research is to identify several of the

Clean water supply is essential in establishing and maintaining a healthy community. There are two sources of water supply which are the surface water and ground water. Most natural waters are not suitable for consumption as it is contaminated by pathogens and also natural chemicals and minerals. In addition, as a city grew, wastes from human activities contaminate most of the water supplies. Water treatment plays an important role to properly treat a contaminated source of water supply in order to protect the health of consumers. Water treatment process is defined as a process of eliminating pollutants from untreated water to produce a biologically and chemically risk-free water, which is both potable and palatable for human consumption
