Natural History Museum

I toured the virtual Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Though it was not face-to-face, I still really enjoyed my experience through the virtual word. I was more fascinated about the liveliness in the virtual world than anything else. I think the virtual museum itself was more of a work of art than the art it displayed because it covered almost every inch from many different points of view in the museum. I also liked how it was pretty easy to operate and move around, and no matter how

station. This city also holds one of the greatest science centers in the United States. This center is known as the Carnegie Science Center. This science center is home to two different science centers that came together as one. It has a very vast history and importance to its region. Its ability to attract families and people all of ages have made it so popular. This science center did not start off as just a science center. This center was created by Andrew Carnegie, entrepreneur and philanthropist

am writing about two museums that I would like to visit someday. The two museums are the Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History. I learned about the museums from their websites: http://www.si.edu/ and http://www.amnh.org/ , which offer a vast array of activities and information about the museums. The Smithsonian actually has several museums. Some of them are located in Washington DC, and some of the others are in New York. The American Museum of Natural History is located in New York

I have visited countless museums in my lifetime, and throughout these experiences I have noticed a general pattern in the museum visitors. Often times they grant only a slight glance at the pieces, and allocate their energy in to taking pictures with the pieces rather than taking the time to learn about the art. On the contrary, I view museums as a place of learning, where culture is preserved and diversity is celebrated, where creativity is fostered and exploration is welcomed. My interest in interning

Project 1: The Carnegie Museum The Carnegie Museum of Art was a museum created to focus on the art of tomorrow rather than already popular art and artists of today. A necessary part for that dream of Andrew Carnegie to become a reality is having a place to house these art pieces. While of course he could have just found an empty warehouse and placed all the art there that would neither have given the pieces of art justice nor would anyone want there personal collection to be placed on display there

Visiting the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian was a great experience. At first walking into the museum we found there to be many artifacts and examples of the Indians used in their daily lives. Walking around the museum it was nice to see all the items we spoke and read about in class. My first impressions were that the museum would be born but seeing and reading about something is very different and being able to capture the real beauty of Indian lives was a great experience. In class we

of going to the Nation Blacks In Wax Museum in Baltimore Maryland. The Black In Wax Museum was founded and designed to teach people the history of African Americans from the Middle Passage to current events. The Museum is one of the most dynamic and cultural institutions because not only is it solely dedicated to the preservation of African American history, but the life-like wax figure gives it its’ uniqueness and creativity. When we first entered the museum we were greeted by wax figured W.E.B

archaeologists can be located in museum databases though, some online information may be easier to find and more readily available than other websites. The Chicago Field Museum emphasizes more reliable, detailed online information about Mesoamerican art than the Peabody Museum at Harvard University, while the Peabody Museum fails to present and explain straight forward information on the cultural and religious aspects of Mesoamerica online. Both the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at

Introduction The website I chose to analyze is the Smithsonian’s History Explorer. I have always been interested in history and the lessons from the past that still affect us in the present (and will affect us in the future). After clicking through the website, I saw an array of interesting topics that can certainly help the educator and shape the classroom. I wanted to see if the website itself was user-friendly for I find that it’s easy to lose interest if the site you’re on has distracting pop-ups
