The Tennessee Museum: A Short Story

He looked around, then asked his mom where Dad was. She choked a little before explaining, “Dad’s really busy right now with saving more people, like the men who rescued you.”

Father’s eyes remained fixed on his daughter’s tear trails and bloody bubbling nose. His gaze grew pained and glassy. I know that man. He shook his head of grey hair and came to. The man crouched and calmly stroked Sybil’s brunette curls. How he missed her frizzy halo during dark dawns when she woke.

The West Georgia Museum of Tallapoosa is a blast from the past for most of the older generation while the younger generations get to see how their grandparents or great grandparents got to live long before they were born. The overall theme of the museum is honoring and memorializing the old city of Tallapoosa. When exploring the little museum, there are displays of old stores and work offices such as a dentist office or a doctor’s office display from the 1800’s. These displays are interesting to look at because most of the stuff on display in each of these rooms are actual items from that time or very close to that era. When viewing these rooms, there is a button viewers can press which activates a narrator to tell them what they are viewing

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 Dallas Museum is a renowned art museum established in 1903 and is located in Dallas, Texas (Neumann et al. 19). The Dallas Museum of art is one of the largest art museums in the United States of America containing more than 24,000 collections of art ranging from the ancient to the modern ones (MacDonald & Brettell 112). There are numerous things inside the museum, such as the pieces of art, museum visitors, and the architecture, that relate to the understanding of the world outside the museum in terms of the day to day life and the human society. My goal in this essay is to think outside the box and describe the observations I made inside the museum and explain how they relate to my everyday life, the wider world, or the human society.

The large cut on the right side of my forehead had begun to bleed again; my own blood threatening to choke me. “Calm down its ok. You're going through a rough phase that's all. Try to get some rest,” was all the comfort dad could manage before choking up into tears. He turned away as streaks of auburn curls lightly brushed against me, the owner tending to my wound. Rest, he says; not so easy when every time your eyes droop, the dreams begin. They have been getting worse, the closer I become in finding a way to bring her

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

Throughout the experience, I learned the importance and care of working with an artifact along with operations within a museum. As I toured Heartland Museum, I witnessed all of the items that are stored behind the scenes because museums only keep a small percentage of the belongings on display. I also learned about the process of creating a display, which includes piecing together many details like attraction, relevance, and of course history. Museums must worry about the community’s interest in the displays. Lastly, I learned about the importance of an artifact by working with some of the items. It is important to handle artifacts with care because of the fragility of the item. After the information I learned at the museum, it was my turn to experience the public

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,

As the FBI have been searching for who stole the paintings and reporters looking deeper into this investigation a statement; believing that there is no trace to where the paintings have gone has been confirmed. The main struggle of this situation is that the FBI and the Police, along

“If you plagiarize others’ techniques, you steal their emotions and tell your spectators a lie with your work. Works as such equal zero.” Wu Guan-Zhong. When pieces of artwork and documents are stolen or missing it is the authority's job to find them; sometimes with the help of other people. In the story “Isabella Stewart Gardner Heist: 25 Years of Theories,” by Tom Mashburg, the narrator is a reporter at The Boston Herald who claims he has seen a stolen work of art, which he believes is real. He then reports her finding to the authority's who claim she is crooked. In the other story, “National Treasures Recovering Artwork Owned by the U.S. Government,” from the Federal Bureau

I live about an hour from Memphis, TN, and I recently spent two whole weeks planning a trip to the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art to view the exhibit, 'Intrude,' (a collection of giant, inflatable bunnies). My plan was to arrive at dusk, on a 'free,' day and stay long enough to see all the exhibits, the bunnies, and catch a $5.00 art class. Through a series of unfortunate events, sadly, I was not able to attend the Intrude Exhibit. I actually went through a mild depression afterward. This was just as well, because, while it is okay to 'gently pet and hug' the bunnies, actually full-on jumping on them is frowned upon, (that said, I know in my heart that is exactly what I would do!). So, I appreciate the kind of museums that give you larger

In these paragraphs, the authorities have faced many challenges while trying to recover the stolen art. Thirteen pieces of art was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum twenty-five years ago. Till this day the art thieves are still on the loose with the thirteen fine pieces of art, leaving the authorities struggling.

For my cultural event my family and I went to the Virginia Living Museum. We chose to go to the Virginia Living Museum because we had never been there before, furthermore it gave us the opportunity to spend time together as a family. To be honest, I was quite hesitant to go to a museum with my four year old son. We have previously gone to other events and places together, but as four year old, keeping his attention, and his little feet going, is always a task. To my surprise, our experience was absolutely wonderful! The museum offered a lot of kid friendly exhibits, while giving all of us the chance to be together, learn about our environment, and animals in Virginia. By having this experience, I learned that I really should spend more time

Claudia has never liked discomfort. When she decided to run away from the injustice and sameness of every day, she decided on the Metropolitan Museum of Art. What wouldn’t be more perfect? Claudia had planned everything; from her companion (Jamie, her younger brother loaded with $23.43), where, when (Wednesday to be exact), and how (through a left-over train pass).
