and Brittney, my aunt, Sondra, and my cousins, Becky, Nick, and Kate. Not only did we visit the District of Columbia, but we saw the surrounding areas of Arlington, Virginia and Annapolis, Maryland.

At first, I didn’t want to go to the museum. That day, I was exhausted after finishing school, so going all the way to San Francisco wasn’t exactly my idea of relaxing. Thankfully, my mom insisted we go that day, since it was my dad’s day off. I felt frustrated that we had to go right then, but my mom forced us. After getting over my initial reluctance, I got butterflies in my stomach. This was only the 2nd time I’d been to an art museum, so I wanted to make the most of it. When we first arrived

be really hot today, I didn’t care because I was so excited to learn all about these two new locations! Our first destination on this very hot day was the Eldridge Street Synagogue. I was a little upset that we weren’t able to go to the Tenement Museum because I always wanted to go there, but I guess now I will have to come back with a friend and see it for ourselves! Then again,

I visited the National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center in Wilberforce, OH and inside this museum there are four different exhibits. After walking around for a while I came across this exhibit that talks about the History of Wilberforce University. It was very interesting to hear about the area from back then until now. It was very different back then but as laws began to get passed it changed. The exhibit on the History of Wilberforce University explores the start of Wilberforce university

For my museum trip I chose to visit the Leepa-Rattner museum in Tarpon Springs. I have never been to an art museum before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. With that being said, I must admit I really found enjoyment from the distinctive emphasis that artists put within many of these images. Furthermore, it is truly amazing how you can gaze at a work of art and begin to establish an idea of the narrative being told within the image. The Leepa-Rattner museum is not very large, and it did not take

For this reflection paper I decided to visit the Young at Art Museum. It is located on Southwest 121st Avenue and is just south of 5-95.(Figure 1) I decided to go on a Friday and I think a few schools may have had the same idea. Upon first arriving I knew, almost instantly, that Young at Art was designed with the youth in mind. Which is great reasoning for the name Young at Art, but I hadn’t thought much of it before my visit. At first look I noticed that there was much to do at Y.A.A. and I was

Visiting M.O.CA was not as fascinating as vising the Chrysler museum due to the type of art that is in the museum. Most of the art works in the M.O.C.A were paintings, drawings, prints and a couple of installations and less of sculptures and objects. The museum was quietly small compared to the Chrysler, so less artwork was available. When entering the museum exhibitions through the glass doors, all you see is mostly pictures. The one drawing that caught my attention the most is called “Vegans Send

Museum Visit: A Sunday on La Grande Jatte I went to The Art Institute of Chicago on a Thursday when it was free for Illinois resident and when there were different exhibitions going on. There was long line at the entrance near the museum at 6pm in the evening. I went alone because I thought I can have better focus on picking a good art work. I was ready to go through all the magnificent paintings for my art museum paper. As I walked through the museum, there were colorful Indian Modern art

For my Museum visit I chose to go to the Atlantic County Historical Society in Somers Point, NJ. When I originally had gone I didn’t know what to expect exactly. I thought for the most part they would talk to me about the history of Atlantic county which they did however they had amazing objects and memorabilia that date back centuries. They had everything from old toys made of amazing wood to guns that were heavier then I had originally anticipated. While I was there the staff told me stories
