( The Museum focuses on bringing families together so they have an opportunity to make art in the studio inspired by the work in the exhibitions.) The Queens Museum it's a piece of History that can be a deep connection to dance to visual art forms primarily in costumes and mask, but also in drawings and paintings. I have always been interested in what Museums offer and attending to this one was a great experience. All the pieces gave me a better understanding and appreciation of the artwork. Queens Museum it's located in Flushing, Meadows Corona Park. This Museum seeks to reveal as much about Queens as its participants, the local global world they live in, and the borders they care about. Any guest that attends this Museum is …show more content…
Most it's pieces are a decade old and one of the pieces that brought my attention the most was, The Panorama of the City of New York. The Panorama of the City of New York it's called the jewel in the crown of the the collection in Queens Museum. The Panorama was built by a team of more than 100 people working for the great architectural model makers Raymond Lester and Associates over the course of three years. Lester referred to aerial photographs, Sanborn fire insurance maps, and a range of the other City material as the Panorama had to be accurate because of the fact that this was between reality and the "world's largest scale model." This was one of the must successful attractions in 1964 when it was introduced. The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass was so beautiful by the way it lighted up the whole room. It was just amazing how lamps were built and how each and every single one has its own design. This collection includes an extraordinary collection of floral and geometric lamps as well as landscape and figural windows. This is one-of-a-kind piece that provides valuable insight into the development of the stained glass movement in America. This collection came to the Queens Museum to share an educational programming. Visitors not only enjoy the beauty of this pieces but also gain a deeper appreciation of the
When I came to the museum, the first thing that impressed me was the astonishing building: it was a masterpiece itself. The exterior of the Tampa Museum of Art has a light installation, and all I wanted at that moment is night to come so I could see thousands of colored lights reflected in the surface of the river that flows near the museum. What’s more, I liked the design of the museum inside as well. There were white walls and perfect lighting, and nothing would bother contemplation. In many museums I have visited before there was a lot of distractions, but in this museum everything was done on the principle of simplicity, and that was very pleasing to me. Moreover, when we came inside of the museum, it was almost empty. There were just a few visitors, who were fascinated by various drawings and statues. Most of the visitors were teenagers, what slightly surprised me. I
Never before have I seen a museum as grand as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. From its architecture to its massive art collection, The Met has a little bit of everything and one is sure to find something that captures his or her interest. Considering that The Met is the United States' largest art museum, it is easy to get lost within its many corridors and wings. My visit to The Met took place during the last week of July. Despite the almost unbearable heat and humidity that hung in the air, visiting museums under these climate conditions is a welcome respite from a suffocating, yet bright summer afternoon.
New York City, one of the greatest cities of the world, is remarkable because of its history, culture, and diversity. It is world renowned for its skyscrapers, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Broadway entertainment, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, and even restaurants specializing in ethnic foods. However, the thing that most intrigues and excites me about New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
When you enter the Frick Collection, located in the home of Henry Clay Frick on the upper east side.The house looks small and insignificant from outside,but once you enter. Well it was a breathtaking experience. What a gift to the world a real treasure. The Frick Collection is a sanctuary of civilisation and charm when compared to the bustle of 5th Avenue. Inside all is cool and calm and the collection is truly wonderful. The atmosphere is so unfamiliar I have to keep looking out of the windows to see yellow cabs driving by to prove to myself I'm still in New York city. It's hard to pick out a favourite, but the chance to see so many marvelous artwork it is the feeling you get when you open a the first gift on christmas morning.The Frick Collection
My tour around El Museo Del Barrio in Harlem, New York was a very memorable visit and I got
It was my first time going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Visiting the Met was a visit forced onto me by the class, nonetheless it was a visit I would eventually take as I had always wanted to go to the Met. I went with a friend that had already visited the museum, but went a couple years ago. I was intent on seeing only three periods, and they were Greek and Roman, Renaissance and Baroque art. With my intent on doing Baroque art, I did not want to spend a lot of time in the other periods, but my friend was eager to see everything. Hence, I ended up seeing more, because there were so much art and so many exhibits. The museum was bigger than I expected and I expected a pretty large space. Since I went on a weekend and it was a tremendously beautiful day, the museum was crowded. I think I spent about two hours at the museum and then was exhausted from all the art I saw. It was a pretty memorable experience.
Every effort should be made ahead of time to identify a museum that has items and works one can easily connect to our HUM 111 class and book. Since HUM 111 covers from ancient times to the 1500s AD, it makes more sense to focus on items from that time frame. In general, museums with artistic cultural artifacts and fine arts work better than history museums.
Number Three: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.With works of art spanning thousands of years, enjoy the Met's wide-ranging collection, including everything from Greek to Roman art, paintings, sculptures, artifacts and more.
I hope to see museums make more concerted efforts to educate the public. Too many exhibits are of the “passive, didactic looking” than like the engaging Object Stories program (Dartt, Murawski). Exhibits should seek to tell untold narratives, and programs should be places of communication and cross-cultural encounters. For too long, difficult confrontations have been avoided, both inside the museum, and by dominant communities
One of my favorite pieces from the visit was a huge 10 x 9 ft. map that surrounded a middle age woman's face. The artist Frieder Schnock used stippling to create the entire piece, which resonated with me from the previous project we
The art exhibit I plan on attending is the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC. Gibbes is one of Charleston most historic museums and house and displays not only modern art but many pieces of art that show the show history of Charleston. Gibbes opened in 1905. I chose Gibbes Museum of art because of its location and the rich history of Charleston that influences the art reflection the culture that Charleston has been for the last 112 years. The museum not only displays many local pieces of art and sculptures, it also has on display art from around the world. Currently the museum has many visiting artists but also has a permanent collection that is on display. Of the permanent collections, the most interesting to me is the 18th and 19th Century
“The museum has changed people’s perception of museums, about the connections between art, architecture, and collecting.” (Freshome). Admiring the Architect, Frank O. Gehry, and how he would not just design, but how he would blend previous designs with his own and create a building made his work unforgettable.
The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.
Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist, and designer, was born in New York City in 1843. Tiffany, the son of Charles, who was the founder of the jewelry firm “Tiffany and Co.,” began his career as a painter and then expanded to design and direct his studios in order to “produce lead-glass windows, mosaics, lighting, glass, pottery, metalwork, enamels, glass, pottery, jewelry, and interiors” (“Louis Comfort Tiffany Stained Glass Art”; Frelinghuysen and Obniski). Beginning in the late 1870’s the decorative arts and interiors caught Tiffany’s eyes and he began exploring and trialing with stained glass (Frelinghuysen and Obniski). As years passed he introduced blown-glass vases and bowls called “Favrile.” The
The Museum of Modern Art in New York City is the world’s leading modern art. Its exhibits have been a major influence in creating and stimulating popular awareness of modern art and its accompanying diversity of its styles and movements. The museum’s outstanding collections of modern painting, sculpture, drawings, and prints range from Impressionisms to current movements.
