Should Museums Repatriate Ancient Artifacts to their Country of Origin? Ancient artifacts are the symbols of human civilization. All of them are priceless and cannot be measured by currency value. Repatriate is a controversial problem because of the various reasons. For instance, the aggressor took all of the captures back to their home countries and showed them to the public, during the war. Voyagers took other countries’ artifact to prove they had been in that place. Archeologists, anthropologists

The great Purges saw One third of the communist party killed throughout a period of terror, which lasted from 1934-39, With Kirov being the final victim himself. On top of this many ordinary civilians alongside Party members ere also exiled and imprisoned in gulags. Some Historians believe that the purges were a series of distinct events that related to the purges. Whilst others believe that the crimes were entwined. However the cause of the terror is the topic that holds more debate. Some historians

Conservation Study While there were several works of art that I had liked, the artwork and album finally chosen from Noelle Ocon’s album for this particular study was The Armorer’s Shop by David Teniers the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Younger. The goals for the study of this painting were to delve into topics such as subject matter, spectrum bands used to reveal information about the painting, and conservation efforts in general. As such, this study will start with the subject matter and style of

Driving down the 405 freeway will now be a different experience for myself. Prior to the weekend of June 11, 2017, The Getty Museum was always a mystery. There are a several things I really enjoyed about the museum. It was surprising to learn the Getty Center is free for everyone that attends. When arriving we of course had to pay for parking, which was fifteen dollars for an all day parking pass. With the parking pass, the museum allows you to leave and return once within the same day. This is ideal

The first artwork I selected was the “Serpent Labret with Articulated Tongue”; the artist of this piece is unknown. I was looking forward to this the most because this piece was used to advertise/promote the Golden Kingdom exhibition at the Getty Museum. The picture of this piece was everywhere; it was on the wall, signs, stairs, maps, and pamphlets. Just by looking at the pictures I saw and not knowing what it was, I thought that this piece was a hair accessory, like a hairpin because of its long

For this essay, we were required to go to the Getty Villa in Malibu and look for specific works of art in the J. Paul Getty Museum. The Getty Villa is on a hill adjacent to Malibu beach and requires a reservation to get inside. They do not allow pedestrian entrances, so I had to take public transportation and show proof of my Metro bus receipt to get in. Once inside, I took a shuttle up a curvy hill to the actual museum. When I got to the actual entrance, I was taken aback by how beautiful not only

Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, December 11, 2014. I had originally planned to visit the National Museum of Art and History in Washington D.C., but I found myself in Los Angeles due to the birth of my Grandson. I attended the museum by myself. The Getty Museum was originally started in 1954 in J. Paul Getty’s home in Pacific Palisades. After Getty’s death, the Getty Trust took over the museum. The collection eventually outgrew the site and the Getty Center

what you feel when you look at it. Walking through a museum, it’s like walking through emotions. There are so many different feelings and emotions you get depending on the work of art you’re experiencing. Both works of arts I got to experience at the Getty museum were very interesting and unique. The first work of art was A Walk at Dusk (1830-1835) by German artist Caspar David Friedrich. Its medium was oil on canvas with dimensions of 33.3 x 43.7 cm. The second work of art was Mornington Crescent with

Greek art gave rise to the Renaissance and classical art we treasure today. Humanism: Men are the measure of all things (Protagoras, 490-420 BCE) guided every aspect of the Greek society, and the concept is clearly reflected in their artworks. The Getty Villa houses many exquisite examples of humanism in art. The Greeks see the human body as an example of supreme physical beauty; therefore, each generation of Greek artists endeavored to produce a more natural representation of the human body

centuries. For this assignment I chose two Greek sculptures viewed at the Getty Museum. The first is Kouros circa 530 B.C. made of Dolomitic marble from Thasos and is approximately 200 cm (80 in) in height. The second is Cult Statue of a Goddess, (most likely Aphrodite) South Italy, 425 - 400 B.C. made of Limestone and marble. It stands at a height of 220 cm (86 5/8 in). There is some dispute to the authenticity of the Getty Kouros
