I picked the Dallas Museum of Art because of their wide variety of different artwork. I loved the Museums vast collections of Modern art that I’ve really gotten into lately. Plus, this Museum brings different ideas and new cultures of different works of art that I’ve never really had the pleasure of experiencing. My time at the Dallas Museum of Art, was better than ever I got to spend it with my fiancée experiencing something beautiful, it was so exciting. The museum was very big and there was not
Museen1 (Possible Museums), which is dedicated to the development of museums for Modern and contemporary art. Together with different authors, we explored the potential of public museums for renewal and education as well as for (critical) reflection on social change by using ten examples from the past fifty years. In this connection, we took a particular interest in those historical moments in which changes that were previously unthinkable suddenly seemed possible. Hence potential museums are also conceivable
Museum is a place where we learn the different cultures like Native Indians traditions and mysterious of Maya cultural; appreciate author’s hard work and internally connected and communicate to the arts in a form of its value and stories. One of the most curial issue museums are facing today is the lack of funding which can leads to many consequences to the society; individuals and education system such as declining in great museum and cut off museum worker’s benefits and lots of the great museums
largest issues with this museum is paradigm analysis. They are doing things simply because it is how they have always done them. By doing this they are letting opportunity slip them by and each day they are becoming more and more irrelevant to the community they serve. An issue that we are going to face moving forward is paralysis by analysis. There is simply so much to do and address it is very possible that we will get stuck and not be able to move forward. As director of the museum, I have created the
Museum Trip When this project was brought to my attention at the beginning of the semester I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know much about the history of art or any of the specific terms that are used in the art world. I have been to museums in the past but that was when I was in elementary school and they didn't teach us any of the specific terms that they used in the art world. On the handout that you gave the class you wrote questions that you though would be helpful for us to answer
Children’s Museum of Tacoma History and Life Cycle Examination The Children’s Museum of Tacoma, founded in 1985, has been a Tacoma icon for twenty-five years. Over the subsequent ten years, the Museum experienced successes in membership, attendance and funding. During its first ten years in existence, the Children’s Museum experienced an increased attendance, finally leading to the Fire Marshall enforcing capacity limits causing patrons to form waiting lines for entrance.

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
Museum defines as an institution housing collections of objects of artistic, historic, or scientific interest conserved and displayed for the educational and enjoyment of the public. Museums are places of memory that provides the link of distant past to the present generation which also help the society to know the path their forebears trod.

The museum was fabulous, that was my first visit and it preceded its reputation. I was impressed with the introduction to the entrance to the museum. Before I describe my experience at the museum, I must give kudos to my professor Ms. Narayan, who prepared the way for us to attend the museum. There was no hassle in the parking lot or no confusion at the designated meeting area, all was on point. For that I say thank you, Dr. Narayan. I drove up to the parking lot and all was taken care of, after

Unless a local museum features different artwork from around the world; there is a rare chance that a person may be able to appreciate different types of artwork from around the world. However, today’s technology has given more people a chance to appreciate art from around the world through virtual museums online.

Interactive Museum Experiences “I am Richard Nixon, president from 1969 to 1974. I was a lawyer and studied at Duke University Law. I died in 1994,” says Marjorie Cozzens, age 8 (Dooley, 2003, p.

Marjorie’s third grade teacher, Renee Bortolini has her class choose a president, learn about them, and on Friday, the
While Museums changed their approach during this progressive turn, academic historians were not actively involved in the beginning. John Cotton Dana, founder and curator of the Newark Museum, called for a change in focus for all museums in his 1920 book A Plan for a New Museum: The Kind of Museum It Will Profit a City to Maintain. He stated, “A museum is good only in so far as it is of use.” A museum’s value did not lay in beautiful, rare, and objects from long ago and far away places, but in
My Visit to the Orlando Museum of Art For the first cultural event, I decided to visit the Orlando Museum of Art. Personally, I had never been to an art museum until now so I wasn’t sure what the art would like. I never had an interest to go to an art museum or an interest for art in general because it is very uninteresting in my opinion. I felt like I didn’t belong in the art world. I felt like art was meant for intelligent individuals who understood complex art and the intentions behind a piece

The Museum Experience One of my favorite things to do when traveling in a new city is to visit the museums. I have never been to a city that did not offer the usual museum fare, usually in the form of the “Anytown Art Museum”, or the “Anytown Museum of Natural History”. While these types of museums house some incredible artifacts, and I do visit them often, I also like to seek out museums of a more unusual sort. Museums are mostly the same just about everywhere you go, both in the United

going to a museum solely dedicated to Mexican art here in the United States. I’ve been to the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City which hosts collections by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Unlike any other museums I’ve been to the Dolores Olmedo museum had peacocks and Frida’s favorite dogs the Xoloitzcuintles wandering around the outside premises of the museum. I went to the Dolores Olmedo museum a couple years ago when I went to Mexico City and it was amazing. Before visiting the museum I had only
