Altes Museum

We visited MOMA/PS1 in Queens this week, and it’s the first time I visit this museum. Comparing to MOMA, the collections in MOMA/PS1 are definitely more spicific to smaller range of demographic. Although the museum itself is not very big, but the usage of the space and the style of the enviornment give visitors a stronger feel of personality and less authority than MOMA. I spent most of my time on Cao Fei’s solo exhibition. Cao Fei is a young female artist from China, her work has been on the scene

The purpose of museums is to serve the public in the fields of education and research. The pinnacle of museum structure, for this country, is the Smithsonian, with its headquarters located in Washington D.C. (Smithsonian). My future career goal is to get a curator position within one of the nineteen museums that fall under the Smithsonian jurisdiction (Smithsonian). Though I will be happy working in many other museums across this country I decided to choose the Smithsonian because it is the Official

When constructing an exhibit, the museum staff must ask themselves: What demographic are we designing this exhibit for. Correspondingly, the museum staff ponders what is the line of sight for the targeted demographic, so they know where to place the artifacts and how the exhibit should be structured. Similarly, the museum staff must predict how the public will respond to their exhibit and the necessary precautions to avoid negative reviews. Most importantly, the museum staff must question if the exhibit

( 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

This term our class was commissioned by Evergreen Hamilton to conduct research around various neighbourhoods around Hamilton. The objectives of this research was to determine how the city’s use of public art builds its communities and culture, while also proposing new ideas that would help empower and reinforce a sense of community through art. The neighbourhood our group was assigned was the North End (west) neighbourhood, which is a very family oriented neighbourhood. In addition, through the use

of group identity formation” (Autry, 57). Autry is trying to say that museums is a sacred place of memory and trauma. When traveling through these museums the author notice that the most common themes were “capture and displacement from Africa, enslavement, and racial segregation” (Autry 64). When she notices that these were the three main topics being shown to the public then it’s a major problem. She felt that the museums had too much power because they were choosing certain information to be

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

This week readings discusses both the history of museums, primarily in the United States, and their evolution from high brow institutions to ones that serve, educate, and engage the populace. The articles also trace the constant discussions museum professionals had regarding the focus and dissemination of their collections. These articles all agree that museums must transform from places that solely focus on the collection, preservation, conservation, and dissemination of rare items to ones that

In this day and age, art museum websites are some of the most pleasant websites to visit. They are known for their eye-catching graphics, beautiful works of art, and excellent organization. Art museum websites inform readers about artists, the museum itself, artwork and history. For example, the Met website or the Frist website are they are both famous websites that function correctly. However, the Met website is better and more effective than the Frist website because it contains superior display

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum From the amazing museums to the beautiful gardens, adrenaline filled amusement parks, the adventurous wildlife exhibits known as zoos; Ohio has everything you could ask for. My favorite attraction has to be the Rock and Roll Hall and Fame and Museum. There are so many unique features about this museum, I wouldn’t know where to begin. The tower on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame supports a dual-triangular-shaped glass “tent” that extends onto a 65,000-square foot
