On March 6th, 2016 I went to the Museum of Tolerance, a multimedia museum in Los Angeles, is designed to examine racism and prejudice around the world with a strong focus on the history of Holocaust and to fostering tolerance through educational outreach community involvement and social action. First thing I noticed as I walked in the museum was that there were pictures on the wall of holocaust survivors that explains how they fought in their time and the struggles they had to go through. It was

On October 14, 2016, I attended the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Elmhurst, Illinois. The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art is a museum that shows different pieces of art made from a wide variety of rocks and minerals, making wonderful works of art to say the least. The Lizzadro Museum displayed more than two hundred pieces of gemstones art sculptures, which is cut and polished to make it pleasing to the eye.

The library was filled with books, which were over one hundred years old. It was the night before Christmas and everything was still on the streets of downtown Brampton.

I visited the Ancient American exhibit at the Field Museum and analyzed the voices that I heard within the different sections: the researchers, the curators or the people. Throughout the exhibit, I heard different voices, but the strongest voice I heard was the curators who put together the exhibit.
