The Life Of Michael C. Carlos Museum

After the opening of the Ninth Fort Museum, many Lithuanian Jewish partisans published their memoirs from the Kaunas ghetto and retold the crimes committed in the fort. Their books were illustrated with photographs captured by the Lithuanian Jewish photographer from the Kaunas ghetto George Kadish and in some of their publications even the identification of Jewish victims managed to surpass the Soviet censorship. Of course, as it will be discussed in this paper, first and foremost, their memories were located within the heroic narrative of the Soviet resistance against the Nazi regime and often had to follow the Soviet guidelines of the war memorialization. Nonetheless, it might be argued that antifascist ideology, which was instrumentalized

During our visit to the El Paso Museum of Art, our docent (insert name) took us on a tour of their current exhibitions: Robert Delaunay and Albert Gleizes: The School of Paris from Modern Master Series: Highlights from the Solomon R.

A representation of Latino American culture in New York is the El Museo del Barrio. This museum has been upstanding for thirty years, depicting various forms of art. These arts come from many latino artist, who felt they were under represented in American museums. El Museo del Barrio was created to give these latino artists a space to promote and have their paintings and artworks idealized. The museum serves as a reminder of the discrimination against Latinos, as many Latino artists were ignored before the museum was constructed.

The first piece of art work that I saw was the work of Frederick William MacMonnies (1863-1937) I felt it captured my attention as I first walked into the room. The unique sculpture “DIANA” really impressed me by depicting a Roman Goddess poised with her bow raised high and ready for the hunt. It was also interesting because the women of that time period were not known as hunters, they were known for being mothers and wives. The piece of art work was medium in sitting on top of a pedestal as you walked into the main exhibit room. There was lots of background information on the poster written below this artwork. It told a story of how MacMonnies and his contemporaries got their inspiration in ancient Greek and Roman culture, and it also took some of the Italian Renaissance into account when making the piece.

The exhibitions are set up as a time traveling experience that takes visitors across hundreds of years and across the globe.

In the end, the journey discloses with remarkable triumphs in medicine,

Over the weekend, I took the time to explore two museums. The first museum I visited was the D.I.A , also known as the Detroit Institute of Arts. The D.I.A was a very beautiful, multicultural, and unique place. I also took the time to visit and explore the Charles H. Wright Museum of Detroit. Luckily, these museums weren’t too far from each other they were roughly 5-7 minutes apart. The Charles H. Wright Museum was also very beautiful, it was more appealing to me because it is a museum that exhibits and highlights the history of the African American culture. The Charles H. Wright museum also happens to be the largest African American museum in the world.

Organizations in the community can have many purposes. For example, in my community of New York there is a museum called the Hispanic Society of America. This museum shows Hispanic culture through artwork. The mission of the Hispanic Society of America is to represent the life of every Hispanic person, no matter the difference, to share the Hispanic culture with anyone who visits, and to provide free educational programs to the community.

The Braunstein collection located in the Barrick Museum at UNLV gives visitors a cultural outlook at the prehispanic era that each of these figurines represents. Each figurine is a great example of how a person could be triggered to a personal and mutual understanding of one's culture. The collection involves figurines from Mesoamerica, South America, and Central America, bringing a variety of cultures to the focus. Despite the lack of words, each figurine provides a background story surrounding each culture.

The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.

Including artwork from the fourth millennium BC to today's world, the museum truly holds a collection to see. From incredibly large painting created in the thirteen-hundreds to marvelous detailed sculptures built in the early seventeen-hundreds the museum's eight collections holds a variety of items to see.

Walking into the Perez Art Museum was a great experience, being able to physically see all these creative art pieces was such a great feeling, especially because I am a fan of the arts. I would have to say that the most beautiful piece in the museum was the Mojo Jojo, this art piece was created by Polly Apfelbaum, born in 1955, Abington, Pennsylvania. This particular piece is made out of velvet and fabric dye of various colors, which is laid directly on the floor forming continuous circles. The other part of the circle started with dark colors and as it worked its way to the inner part of the circle the colors began to become lighter. I thought that this piece was so beautiful because of the amount of colors used and the feeling it brings as you are analyzing the art. Looking at this piece brought feelings of happiness, creativity, freedom and ambition. Some questions that came across my mind as I was visualizing this piece were: How many different colors have been used? What was the texture of the fabric? Is there a main focal area of the work?

Carlos museum. Even though I entered the museum in a grumpy mood due to the weather, I soon forgot about the rain and cold because I became fascinated by all of the different works of everyday art that are on display there. I also enjoyed wandering around with Leonard and sharing my experience of the museum with him. Anyone who has a passing interest in history would undoubtedly be entertained by this collection, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. There’s jewelry, bathtubs, the head of Medusa, weaponry, coffins, and teeny tiny carved whatnot for any and all tastes- not to mention the reclining mummy just chilling out… the best part is that even if you do have to pay to see the exhibits, the price is very
