The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent government agency that tallies the number and type of museums in this country. By their count, there are 35,000 active museums, this represents a doubling of the number estimated in the 1990s (Ingraham 2014). Colorado has around 200 museums and five dedicated to African Americans (Visit Denver, 2016). The Black American West Museum started in the barbershop of the founder, Paul W.

At has always been stored and preserved in museums, especially today to educate and entertain the major public however, there have been some critical issues with the display case of the ancient works argues Joan Brahman. Brahman states in her article “Sacrality and Aura in the Museum: Mute Objects and Articulate Space,” that when curators take ancient artifacts out of context the original meaning and function of the piece are nullified. For example, she quotes from Philip Fisher, “’Take the crucifix
Museums are marvelous institutes that allow the public access to historical information, however, this mean that people need to have the ability to be mobile and have transportation to the building. The creation of virtual museums has the ability to let some travel around the world without leaving the comfort of their home. As long as someone has the ability to access the internet, one might never need to actually travel to a museum. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (SNMNH) web

I visited the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, located in Washington, DC.I went to this exhibit previously when the Art department of Frederick Community College had a trip on Saturday to the DC National Mall on October 25, and 2014. The artwork I found very intriguing and stood out from the rest was the featured artwork “Made in Japan” by artist Martial Raysse, completed in 1964. The use of the style orientalism and pop art was articulated in this artwork. In addition
Nowadays, many cultural institutions have challenged by the digital age. The virtual experience has replaced the physical engagement which makes the arts and cultural institutions hard to perform its function. Therefore, the use of digital engagement has potential to make arts and cultural institutions accessible to the broad public. As stated by the executive director of Delaware Art Museum, "The goal of museum education, is pleasure through enlightenment" (Vergo, 1989). It is clear that the implementation
‘New museology’ is the concept of modernising museums and making them more interesting and interactive for the visitors. The District Six Museum is a good example of new museology because it is a relatively new museum that was started and run by the community, not the state and it is very different to older museums. It is very appropriate to have a museum like this in South Africa, because what happened in District Six should not be forgotten and museums like this one encourage people to visit them
‘Imagine you were in charge of a museum’s collecting policy. What would you chose to collect and how would you justify these decisions?’ Introduction Collections play a crucial role in fulfilling a museum’s mission and purpose. A museum’s collection is defined by its collection policy past and present which in turn helps to shape the museum’s goals and direction. As stewards of collections, museums are expected to maintain the highest professional standards legally and ethically. The development
Introduction When looking to the past in an effort to quantify a metamorphoses in exhibition design, it is noted that the space itself exists under the veil of intellectualism. The viewer is understood to be an educated individual with an interest in a particular point in history. Moving forward, it is remarkable to discover how the display space itself has been reconsidered. This is due to advancements in media and our methods of communication. No longer is there a great divide between artifact
Museums educate us with objects of art and culture from all over the world. Some pieces may have dramatically more meaning to people than others, but museums can’t be too conscientious about this or there would be very few pieces. Yet, if pieces aren’t displayed with enough emphasis of their importance, visitors may not even glance at them , and are even less likely to read the information about them. One piece at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the “Head of a Buddha image” (Figures 1 & 2)
Museums play a viable part in preserving a nation's past and spreading culture. Often times, a museum features artifacts from various regions of the world through which citizens of one country are able to experience a change in culture, whilst in the comfort of their own homes. This, however, leads to the issue of morality, in which the debate of whom the artifacts actually belong to and where they should go,in order to best preserve them for future generations arises. Museums currently return
I decided to visit the D.I.A. for my first cultural museum evaluation. I chose to visit the D.I.A. because the last time I attended was back in high school which was about six years ago, and before then was when I was in the eighth grade. I vaguely remembered those times I did visit the institute and due to a lack of maturity I knew that I would cherish the experience much more this time around. I was always aware that the museum existed in Detroit, but I do feel as if I take the museum for granted
Harry S. Truman Library Review Today was a nice day to go outside, the temperature was perfect and the wind was not too harsh, so I decided to go visit the Harry S. Truman Library with my mom who has not drove to Independence before, so this was a very entertaining trip. The Harry S. Truman Library is located in Independence, MO and the building was huge in comparison to any other museum I have seen before. When I looked at the museum on a website before we went I noticed that the front of the building

Museums house great works of art, fragments of history, and cultural experiences all within four walls. By visiting a museum, one can be instantly transported to another place or time. Whether that place is beautiful or grotesque, the emotions experienced are both genuine and authentic. The Orange County Museum of Art (acronymized as OCMA), located in Newport Beach, is one such structure of art and experience. Currently on display are the exhibitions of Chinese artist Shi Zhiying and “Pivotal: Highlights
Iron, Workers At Cloyde Snook gallery in Alamosa Colorado in the Art department of Adams State University campus was yet another interesting exhibition of Iron based works, Fe! A Collective Experiences in Iron. These works of art were not the collection of a single artist, but rather several artists of various backgrounds and abilities. As would be expected with an exhibition of this nature, not one piece was the as another, there were several ideas and thoughts all collected into several works
To begin my adventure into our culture, I chose to visit the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. My grandmother took my mother and aunt to visit this museum when they were in high school, so it seemed fitting. Since I have never been to a real museum, I decided this would be an excellent first trip. Stemming from my research, I am anticipating multiple beautiful pieces of art from several different time periods due to the fact that John and Mable were serious art collectors. I am extremely excited to witness
The cultural event that I went to and reviewed was the Remembering Yuri Kochiyama Through Grassroots Art exhibit that was held in Cross Cultural Center. The event was basically a tribute to Yuri Kochiyama and how she helped contribute greatly to both African American and Japanese American liberation movements through some artwork displayed in the exhibit. Yuri Kochiyama was a Japanese American activist who spoke out against the harms against not only the Japanese Americans but to also African Americans
Museum exhibits are commonly understood as organized displays of a selection of items that are presented for the public. But exhibits do more than just display items that are otherwise unreachable; they also provide a site for the construction of identity. When people go to museums, they want to be told what they should value. Exhibits provide resources for reflecting upon objects, ideas, social relations, histories, and memories. Visiting exhibits, then, allows people to formulate notions of quality
