Museum Visit

I have read some information about the museum on its site, and decided that I should definitely go there.

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

In preparation for my first visit to the Denver Art Museum I browsed their numerous extravagant collections online. I was taken back by the wide range of skilled artwork as well as impressed. I spent hours completely entranced by the artwork. When I was done viewing the gallery virtually I questioned whether or not I should even still visit the actual museum. I felt that I had just had the same experience only free and from the comfort of my couch. Fortunately, my sister convinced me into going with her and I have not regretted it since! Viewing artwork in person is far more beneficial than viewing it from a virtual gallery.

Interestingly, my first visit to the Museum was almost accidental. When I was a freshman, my mother was taking an art class at the College of Staten Island which required a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum, and my brother and I both agreed to accompany her. I will never forget the moment that I first laid eyes on the Metropolitan Museum. Although it was a dark, cold winter night, the shimmering lights made the building most inviting. As we crossed the threshold, I was struck by

Wright museum my feelings were totally different. Although I admired everything about the museum, I grew more and more emotional the more I explored. The experience itself was a great eye opener for me. I have always been well aware of Black History and slavery, but seeing and walking through replicas of what my ancestors endured - was overwhelming. I saw models of slaves, stacked on top of each other, smothered, cluttered into small spaces on a makeshift slave ship. I saw images of the brutality and the abuse that slaves endured. The most interesting thing of all was that I learned about Africa,their minerals and resources, their rainfall and vegetation, and the rest of the continent before the begin of the slave trade - understanding the root of it all. I was also privileged to learn the “Daily Routine” of a

I hope to see museums make more concerted efforts to educate the public. Too many exhibits are of the “passive, didactic looking” than like the engaging Object Stories program (Dartt, Murawski). Exhibits should seek to tell untold narratives, and programs should be places of communication and cross-cultural encounters. For too long, difficult confrontations have been avoided, both inside the museum, and by dominant communities

As I was walking around the museum, I was shocked and in complete desire when me and my friends walked into a large circle roof type architecture. It was absolutely amazing to be inside and under it. Finally, we reached our destination which was the Mummy exhibit and were impressed with what they had on site.

The viewer can see and feel the bond between the mother and the child. I also think the artwork is beautiful and makes a deep impression on the viewer, because of the innocence and peaceful appearance of the infant. The woman has such an intense gaze with the way she is looking at the infant; it gives each viewer an opportunity to interpret it in their own way, concern or admiration, all part of motherhood. The woman’s body language is intriguing because she is replicating the infant’s arm position, maybe to find her own peace. In my search, I discovered that Berthe Morisot was a famous female artist in the 19th century, and in making a choice, this piece of art quickly caught my

Over the thanksgiving break I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is an art museum in New York City that has a variety of ancient artwork from different cultures and time periods. There is paintings and sculptures from Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and Greece. The museum is additionally home to artwork from many different time periods including ancient Near Eastern Art, Middle Ages and Europe during the Renaissance. The Met also has artwork from many different religions such as Christianity and Islam. Each section in the museum had a specific artwork that attracted my attention.

Visiting the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian was a terrific experience. Seeing the past visually was amazing because I felt that reading the textbook and listening to lectures from the professor were good, but seeing the artifacts brought everything to life. My first impression being at the Mitchell Museum was how the professor presented the information in class was different from seeing pictures of the Indians. Just reading text or listening to a lecture makes it extremely hard to realize how they described the way they really looked and their appearance. Seeing the exhibit taught me more about the Pueblos and the Plains Indians. Those two groups were in They Made Us Many Promises and this gave me the opportunity to learn more about them.

The woman who I spoke to at the front desk was very kind and considerate. She was very friendly and trusting and I made me very excited to see the gallery. I was also very encouraged at how many children were present and enjoying their learning experience. I believe that the majority of archaeology’s worth comes from how the public benefits, even if it is only some joy at learning an interesting fact. Seeing children introduced to history and archaeology so young and enjoying the encounter is one that will always bring me a great amount of joy. So, although I wish adults could also benefit from this museum, I truly appreciate its ability to engage childrens’

This was my first time at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art. I was very impress of the museum because I never thought it was a big museum, and I assume that they had a few collections of paintings. However, I was amazed on how many painting they did had and the variety. Out of all of the painting and sculptures, I selected three paintings: The Spirit of the Storm, Peaceable Kingdom of the Branch, and Lion in the Arena. These paintings impress me the most because of how they made me feel.

Pérez Art Museum of Miami is a modern and contemporary art museum dedicated to collecting and to exhibiting international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is provided with influence of cultures of the Caribbean Sea, North and South America that vitality and texture add to the civic scenery. The effort of the city of Miami to attract artists and cultural exhibitions have led to the building a magnificent facility as part of the re revitalizing Downtown Miami that can be visited by residents and visitors In the Museum Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) there will be able to meet numerous exhibitions of art and events well-known local artists and of world reputation.

Bradley, this site was also interesting to me and I was surprised at how much time I spent looking through this site. I've also never been to an museum in person and looking through this site, I would really like to go to one day. Looking at art online is alright but being there in person would be amazing. The art piece Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze is the art piece that pops up in my head every time when talk about history or when watching the history channel. I wish you have the opportunity in the near future to go and visit the museum of your dream.

Andy Warhol's Marilyn is among my favorite pieces. This piece forever embalms her beautiful smile and glamorous look. The repetition, (should you explain a bit about the repetition in the work?) which is also shown in Elvis Presley, Jackie's, Liz, etc., gives me a startling look into the fame and usually misfortune of some of the world's largest icons.
