Twilight Epiphany Analysis

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

The Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC is a timeless building and a work of art itself. The building was designed with a contemporary style and is an outward expression of its artistic, belongings inside. I visited the Museum on Tuesday, July 02, 2013, at around 2 in the afternoon. I was within the museum for about 2 ½ hours, observing the exhibits. The building itself exceeded my expectations, but the inside took my breath away. Every detail within was elaborate and intended with thought; from the glass windows, to the straight lines of the architecture, to the

The myth of the vampire existed in a multitude of civilizations and cultures under various names such is strigoi (for the Romanian territory), Apotamkin, etc. But no matter the name, vampires will always refer to gothic creatures that drain the blood of humans, thus being monstrous.

One of the first things that I noticed about The Met was its exterior architecture. Like many historical buildings and museums, The Met's architecture is highly influenced by European architecture; in this case, it appears as though the architecture is attempting to emulate the gothic style. Once inside the daunting faรงade, I was pleasantly surprised to see how richly illuminated the museum was. What made it even more remarkable was that much of the light appeared to permeate through skylights that had been built into the building's ceiling. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised to see that The Met was considerably less crowded than the American Museum of Natural History, which I had visited the day before.

One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum publically showcases Mrs. Gardner's collection in the greater Boston area. Each room functions as a chapter of a pilgrimage. When one travels through various countries and time periods, one inevitably ends up in a gallery built in the imitation of a chapel, and subsequently the Gothic room. In this paper, I will examine the Gothic room's theme in relation to the placement of its objects. I will also evaluate the room's strengths and challenges in serving the public, and how the conventions employed in this room contribute to the general accessibility of the museum.

Since then I have returned many times, just to enjoy this exhibit. Walking through the Temple of Dendur is a unique experience since it sits on a marble platform surrounded by water. The temple is especially impressive at night when no light can shine through the windows. Only the temple and its sculptures are illuminated. A sense of mystery surrounds visitors, especially those of us who have been fortunate enough to visit the pyramids in our native land. In fact, viewing the sarcophagus, sculptures, and paintings gives me a sense of nostalgia and pride in the magnificent artwork created by my ancestors.

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

To highlight the relationship between each of the exhibitions, the staff could provide daily visitors with a cohesive guide map of the entire museum. The current location of the museum is massive to accommodate for the displays as well as three research laboratories, but due to large size, each exhibit feels isolated and

The composition in this one is impeccable and the way the figures are depicted was one of the best I witnessed in the museum. Patko’s cool color choice really adds to the feel of this gloomy yet relaxing piece. From the closest figure being nearly 25 times bigger than the furthest; to the rays of light breaking through the purple and blue clouds, this oil on canvas piece instantly grasps a hold of you after just a quick glimpse. Although detail is kept to a minimum, the shadows and color scheme make up tremendously for these almost featureless

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.

Before I went to the museum, my prospective about a museum was poor expectations. What can a museum will offer? , this was one of the questions that I always had in mind. For these reasons, I never thought that I could enjoy a museum tour. However, everything change after visited the Phoenix Art Museum. I went to the trip with poor expectations, but since I arrived in the lobby with all of my classmates and the professor. I started feel that this trip will be sash an educational experience.

On November 23, 2016, I attended the Art Gallerie On Main in Bismarck, ND. Lydia Richez-Bowman owns and operates the gallery. Additionally, she is the artist of most of the work in the exhibit. The other artists are from the local and regional area. Richez-Bowman’s acrylic painting, Winter Solstice, beautifully shows a green and blue dragonfly flying near the sun. Another piece by her is Time Travel. It brilliantly illustrates a great tree with green leaves. The tree is partly covered with a black gate. The arch of the gate has three large circles in which the top of the tree branches are seen through. Zoe, by Anthony Nelson, is a portrait of a young girl. The portrait is made of charcoal and white chalk. The piece has detail, as the lines

My wife and two daughters, Kylie (12), and Skylar (4), attended the Dali museum on the 15th of November. Before you even get into the parking lot you realize the museum itself is a work of art. An amazing, futuristic, hurricane-proof, building that is a crazy mixture of cement and glass, a concrete cube that is wrapped up in little triangles of glass, that kind of resembles a worm or caterpillar atrium that stands 75 feet at its tallest point, and that also serves as a skylight, allowing the natural sunlight to get inside the museum, the designers would have made Salvador Dali proud. The grounds outside the museum have a truly Dali motif, with an iconic melting watch bench, a giant mustache, and the wishing tree for visitors to place their dreams on is in the east garden. The bay can be seen from the museum and if you ever get the chance to see the view at night or from a boat, I would recommend both; preferably at the same time. The front entrance has a nice clean grand entrance with a rock fountain the reoensents Ponce Del Enonts Fountain of youth. Visitors enter through The Dali Museum Store, featuring the largest collection of Dali-inspired merchandise in the world and a work entitled: The Rainy Rolls (1937). Built from a London taxicab, it is a fantastical surrealist work, that is coin operated. A clever creation to rain from the inside of the taxi that children can see off. The theater regularly shows a short film about Dali and the Museum and is also the setting for

In the gallery room for 16th century German art, a single column stands towards a wall, facing the entrance directly. The translucent ceiling above has many small lamps facing in different directions to light the room, but the one aiming directly at the front of this painting is noticeably brighter than the rest. Albrecht Duerer’s Madonna and Child is illuminated with such ferocity from above that its angled, bronze-painted frame casts a shadow both on the painting and on the column below. Surrounding this painting is the taupe-grey of the column, which has a slightly deeper surface for the painting to hang on; while the painting is hung slightly below eye-level for many, the column is much taller and features a light cornice at its peak. However, the reverse of this structure is important, for it also features the reverse of the painting itself—Albrecht Duerer’s Lot and his Daughters. In stark contrast to its obverse, this painting is cast in shadow. A small window slightly larger than the painting itself displays it, and there is absolutely no ceiling lighting highlighting this work at all, with the harsh lighting for the front painting worsening the ability to examine this one. Upon closer inspection, it seems that there is a light within the window itself, providing a soft glow from the top down. However, this lighting was not functional on several occasions in November of 2017, while its surrounding paintings were still more illuminated; the wall behind the column is
