This museum has some very cool and interesting exhibitions. Some of the exhibitions are The Grand Canyon, and Quest for the West. I've personally been to the Grand Canyon when I was younger and it is such a cool place to visit and I think it is very cool that a museum in Indianapolis has an exhibition about the Grand Canyon. The exhibit of The Grand Canyon uses art, history, and culture to help visitors like you to understand the interaction of people with this important area over time. It has three themes, environmental, experience, and expression. It inspires and instills a sense of wonder and visitors and allow them to explore the interwoven natural and human histories of the Grand Canyon. Quest of the West is an art show and sale. You can enjoy Hoosier hospitality at this must see show and sale featuring 50 of the countries biggest names in western
The mosh is an awesome place in Downtown Jacksonville; where everyone can learn some interesting facts about our city, how the body works , what animals are in the ocean and etc. I visited the Timucua Indian exhibit; I learned a lot of intriguing information that I didn’t know before. I learned how the Timucua Indians first came about, how the Indians lived and survived during this time period. This exhibit also showed me how the Indians looked and the way they did things. Being able to learn about the Timucua Indians is so fascinating to me.
The second place in St. Louis that is historically significant is the St. Louis Art Museum. The museum was founded in 1879. At this time it was named the St. Louis School and Museum of Fine arts. In 1906 it was reopened. All admission fees for the museum were terminated once the museum became a public place supported by taxes from the city of St. Louis.

When I visited the museum, it had a wide variety of exhibits and artworks. It had two temporary Exhibits. The first temporary Exhibit I had the pleasure of seeing was Peter Max’s 50 Years of Cosmic Dreaming, which is on display from June 10th thru September 11th. Max was born in Berlin, but has lived in China, Israel, and finally the United States. Max was a rising star in the 1960s, with a passion for astronomy, sages and spiritual life. His work is strongly “associated with pop art, neo-fauvism, and abstract expressionism” (Peter Max). Max’s artwork contains multiple United States symbols and cultural icons. Symbols included the statue
From that point on there’s a digital interactive guide that displays the layout of the museum and location of the exhibits. The museum is divided into quadrants with an elliptical rotunda in the middle. The rotunda is illuminated by natural light from the glass dome with skylights above you. Also when you look up you can see extraordinary symbolic painting on the ceiling. From the center of the rotunda you can go left or right to see the exhibits of Native Americans. For some reason I felt like going in through the left, aside from the fact that the right side was closed for renovations. I headed left into the “Time Exposure” exhibit by the Haudenosaunee Discovery Room. When entering the exhibit it can seem a bit disoriented, but you just have...
The first exhibit I saw was the “It Ain’t Braggin’ if it’s True” (one of my friends told me I had to see the shrine to Lance Armstrong and the rhinestone car). The name of the exhibit didn’t make much sense to me though; aren’t all museum exhibits, especially ones about history, supposed to be true? The big banner in the middle of the room didn’t help much either. It simply said “Vision” and had a quote about how only those with great vision can see opportunity where others see empty space. Maybe those who have this type of vision get the braggin’ rights?
The first museum, we entered was very small which was called “The Stockyard Museum” like a corner store size. This museum was based on historical events such as cowboys , native Americans, chisholm trails and the north/ stockyards of fort worth history. The old man we talked was very nice which I didn’t expect based on his body language, however he introduces us on what to expect and a scavenger hunt for the items in the museum; which was pretty cool because we actually to go around and take us to read everything because he was going to go over it with us afterwards. The main piece that really stood out to me was this dressed which was called "The Bad Luck Wedding Dress" that was the perfect name for this dress if you asked me. This dress was
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.
While many people consider Mexico well a bad place to live in or visit, in really Mexico is a beautiful country with really interesting history and culture. With many states and cities as options, I’ve decided to to my informative speech on its capital, Mexico City.
There is no arguing Walt Disney practiced what he preached. In fact, he did what he did so well that people continue to bring others to see what he did to this day, that being Disneyland. First, we’ll start by learning about the background history of Disneyland. Next, we’ll compare Disneyland from when it first started to what it has developed into. And finally, we’ll explore all the eight parks and what they have to offer.
My favorite public of art is the Statue of Liberty. The first time I’ve ever seen it was when I was eight years old and we were flying to America where our first plane stop was in New York City. I remember seeing it through the window of the airport and being overly impressed with its beauty and how it is exquisitely sculptured. Located on Liberty Island, the Statue of Liberty provides a great scenery of the New York area. It is also next to the old ports where countless of poor immigrants would pass through on a boat looking for new opportunities and a better life. I was told that it represented hope and freedom for everyone who came to the United States. It was a gift, a symbol of friendship, presented to the United States on behalf of
Amusement parks are by far one of the most thrilling places on earth. As you wait in a long line to get in park, you can hear numerous kids, adults, and tourist shouting off the top of their lungs due to a tremendous jaw-dropping drop on their beloved roller coasters.
My visit to this Museum got my skin with goose bumps from the excitement of entering an awesome place that has lots of history, information, and exhibits from my culture and roots. I was enjoying every moment by walking around all those displays, and seeing how everything started here on this side of the border.
Attention getter: The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, still standing.
When first arriving at the museum it was an old styled, rustic, building that was not very modern, which I think fits into the theme of the museum. The outside of the building had history, similar to how the inside of museum is filled with a history. There was also an impressive statue of former president Theodore Roosevelt. I thought it was an interesting display, but Theodore Roosevelt was an advocate for the preservation of national parks and the conservation of animals, moreover, I thought it was a great tribute to him. I think the outside of the museum shows how rich the history of the world is and there is so much to learn. The past has been polished for the people of the present to understand and admire. Overall, I felt every exhibit was easy to understand and not intimidating; subsequently, it was easy for children and adults to look at.
