CULTURAL ACTIVITY REPORT By Jeremy W. Baird WEEK 10 - ASSIGMENT 3 9/1/2015 Professor: Ed Yancey Cultural Activity Report The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is located in Richmond, VA. My wife and I decided to take a trip there on August 29th, specifically for this assignment. There were many interesting exhibits there that caught my eye and we spent the better part of a day exploring it all. Although not directly related to what we have been studying, one of the exhibits that I found most

We visited MOMA/PS1 in Queens this week, and it’s the first time I visit this museum. Comparing to MOMA, the collections in MOMA/PS1 are definitely more spicific to smaller range of demographic. Although the museum itself is not very big, but the usage of the space and the style of the enviornment give visitors a stronger feel of personality and less authority than MOMA. I spent most of my time on Cao Fei’s solo exhibition. Cao Fei is a young female artist from China, her work has been on the scene
I am currently a sophomore undergraduate archaeology major at the University of Evansville, who plans to use my degree to pursue museum studies. When I was young, I discovered that I wanted to be an archaeologist, prompting me to visit many fascinating museums, such as the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Louvre. In preparation for this dig, I currently hold a part-time job as a team member, at a local fast-food pizza establishment. However, this scholarship can also help aid
Upon arrival At the New Haven Historical Museum I observed how quiet it was. As I walked through the Museum I started looking at all the beautiful paintings on the walls. Most of the pictures had a description of what the paintings entail on the side of them. There was no one around when I came to the Museum except for one person at the front desk. I felt that it was peaceful and relaxing walking around without having to bump into others or have it be too loud. During this experience, I did get to
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. At first, I was not overly thrilled about driving all the way to Scottsdale and it seemed like it was going to be a hot day. However, I became more excited about going to the museum because the drive was quicker than I expected it to be since there was not too much traffic.

The Musee de Louvre was the place I was most excited about when coming to France, and I have to say that I was not disappointed with it in the slightest. The one thing that I do regret coming into this was not knowing the background and history of the Louvre and a majority of its works. After doing some research, I came across the history and mission of The Musee de Louvre and I was fascinated with what I read: from knowing that The Louvre was originally created as a fortress to finding out how hard
The museum I have visited during my time was The Haggin Museum located in Stockton, California. Although I had a very brief visit at the museum the layout of each room was very well thought out. The three main images that I have found found very interesting are the Noonday Meal by Daniel Ridgway Knight, Harlequine by Jean Beraud and Les Halles also by Jean Beraud. This paper will discuss the formal characteristic of each artwork and will also be compared to some of the artworks studied and discussed
become the establishment now known as the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Since that first exhibition, the IMA has gone through several identity changes. They were first named, the Art Association of Indianapolis. Their next identity was as the John Herron Art Institute, which opened a whole new chapter, as they became “a campus featuring both a museum and an art school.” (History, 2017) Today, the IMA is one of the largest encyclopedic art museums in the nation.
