The Museum Of Natural History

Depending on your school of thought, the phrase “Creation Myths” may be threatening or provocative. Using it was a powerful mechanism for bringing in and holding any reader’s attention. Creationists and Evolutionists (along with everyone in the middle) are likely to be entertained by the essay, but they won’t realize it until they have absorbed multiple points in support of evolution. The mention of hoaxes opened the essay up to a variety of readers: those who are interested in baseball, scientists and nonscientists alike, those who love a good exposé, and even those who despise sports all together. The essay candidly tells the tale of George Hull’s gawky and outlandish creation as a preface to a much larger hoax. Gould is unabashedly critical of the hoax and those who perpetrated it, but his harsh tone slightly subsides when addressing the human “psychic need for an indigenous creation myth” (263 Gould).

I went to LACMA, Los Angeles Country Museum of Art with my eldest sister and my little three-year-old sister. Since we went with a toddler I wasn’t able to see all the exhibits and galleries due to my little sister being impatient and having an impulse of wanting to touch everything. The first exhibit we looked at was the Art of The Pacific that their art goes back to the 18th century from Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Melanesia. They have different objects that were used for example; they had a stool, feeding funnel and a female figure. The stool was used for cooking and made out of wood and fiber. The feeding funnel comes from New Zealand and the Mahaki tribes of it are made out of wood and Haliotis shell. The layout for this exhibit was simple

The Museum of Natural History is an enchanting place for children of all ages, but it is an especially important place for Holden Caulfield. The Museum is a known certainty in Holden’s inconsistent life, where the glass displays always remain the same. Holden has been relocated to many different boarding schools, and few things remain constant throughout his life. As a result of this he clings on to this one place, the Museum of Natural History, because even if Holden, himself, returns to the museum different, “the deers would still be drinking out of that water hole…and that squaw with the naked bosom would still be weaving that same blanket,” (Salinger, 157-158). In Holden’s ideal world, life should mimic the museum exhibits, where everything is simple, people never come and go, and everything remains frozen in time forever. In The Catcher in the Rye, one symbol J. D. Salinger uses is the Museum of Natural History to show how Holden’s fear of variation makes him hold onto the past, and how he fears mental change even more than just aging physically.

The Bowers Museum is a historical place where multicultural diversities are exhibited through the arts. The museum was founded in 1936 in our lovely city of Santa Ana. This museum is here today because of Charles and Ada Bowers who submitted the bequest to the city of Santa Ana. This museum is one of the largest museums in California and the go to place for Orange County Residents. It was closed down for a period of time and reopened in 1992 as a cultural center. Now they have expanded and added a Kidseum made just for kids. As you walk through the hallways your mind is taken to other parts of the world, as if through magic, we get to see through other cultures eyes. This was my first time stepping foot in a museum so I did not know what to

Given that this “visit” was more like a virtual experience, I was still able to access a couple of my senses, just as if I was at the actual exhibition. Through the use of anecdotes and detailed images, I am able to see all of the personal experiences an individual had while practicing a particular dance and what it meant to them. In this exhibition, there are ten different dances displayed, including the: Yup´ik Yurapiaq and the Quyana (Thank You) Song Dance, Yakama Girl’s Fancy Shawl Dance, Cubeo Óyne Dance, Yoreme Pajko’ora Dance, Mapuche Mütrüm Purun, Tlingit Ku.éex ' Entrance Dance, Lakota Men’s Northern Traditional Dance, Seminole Stomp Dance, Hopi Butterfly Dance, and finally, Quechua Danza de Tijeras (Scissor Dance). All parts of the exhibit were insightful, but the two that sparked my interest the most were the Yup´ik Yurapiaq and the Quyana (Thank You) Song Dance and the Quechua Danza de Tijeras (Scissor Dance).

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 Natural History Museum of Los Angeles offers a surface level depiction of Mesoamerican civilization and culture. It excludes essential information and instead gives a shallow representation that offers implications of a barbaric civilization.

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

Have you ever had a piece of music that causes a picture or painting to come to life? When I was at the David Owsley Museum I was looking at art pieces that had more of a realistic feel and trying to find one that was interesting to me. The Rapids, Sister Island, Niagara by William Morris Hunt caught my attention by just looking at it, and then I listened to Variation XI “G.R.S.” by Edward Elgar, and I really enjoyed the two pieces of art placed together. There were three things that caught my attention to the music and I noticed that these things we discussed in art connected directly to the ideas from music. The first thing that was intriguing to me was the tone color. Next, the dynamic was interesting and related to the way the painting

Since the publishing of the iconic “On The Origin of Species” in 1859, Darwinian theory has held precedence not only in science, but in education and everyday life. Creationism is ignored on a regular basis by saying, “This explanation is not within the scope of science” (Pearcey 169). As a result of its scientific backing, Darwinian evolution is considered as fact and not as a theory. When thoroughly examined, there are numerous flaws that disregard Darwinism in every aspect. Contrary to popular belief and scientific preference, Darwinism is scientifically and philosophically inadequate. It cannot explain the origin of life, and has displayed disastrous consequences towards

While in San Diego, California I went to The Creation Museum. This museum is dedicated to educating the public on the Christian viewpoint of Biblical creation and its significant effects and logical implications on history. While there, I took a tour with some other families. The ages of the participants ranged from young children to elderly adults, all seemed eager to learn. The educational discourse that I discovered in this museum was unlike any I have ever seen before.

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.

There was a time when I thought a great deal about the alligators. I went to see them at the New York City Natural History Museum, and stayed for hours. I had noticed them first on a class trip I had taken with my poetry class. I was looking for characters when I spotted my first alligator grinning at me from under a spotlight. “That one looks real.” I said to a girl in pig-tails who was unimpressed by both the alligator and myself. “We are in a museum.” She said, eyes like olivine rolled into her tiny child skull. “Of course he isn’t real.” “How do you that alligator is a ‘he’ then?” (I was trying to be flashy.) “You’re a dumb shit.” She said, and as her pigtails bounced away I felt

The adventure to University of British Columbia, Museum of Anthropology was a memorable trip in my life since I immigrated to Canada five years ago. Since my arrival I had never known that they were aboriginal people residing in Canada. The aboriginal will feel a sense of identity when their land and artifacts are recognized since the time of colonization

In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, introducing the theory of evolution. One hundred and fifty-six years later, scientists still accept this senseless philosophy. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay states, “Our school systems teach the children that they are nothing but glorified apes who are evolutionized out of some primordial soup” (Snyder). Schools worldwide have presented exactly this to the young, impressionable minds of your future doctors, engineers, scientists, and presidents. They assure us that if we give a small amount of mud enough time it can, by itself, bring about the art of da Vinci, the plays of Shakespeare, the music of Mozart, and the brilliant mind of Einstein.
