The museum itself was a forgotten place on the outskirts of the city where it doesn’t seem appealing at all. It is built on waste ground where rubbish is scattered all over the place and is infested with many cats. You would think the area around the museum was deserted. In 1946, the museum was introduced as part of the city’s new exhibition.…

I personally took a tour through the Hall of Fame to see what it consists of. I was amazed by the things I saw because they were historians that I have never heard of. I saw a collection of bronze faces of both genders, female and male. Under their bronze faces you will see their name follow the year they were born, the year they died and a quote. The quotes under their name represented statements they wrote as a message base on their belief. This place looks like a real museum a little different because is at open air. Usually museums are built to keep special work of arts, specimen of scientist or other objects of permanent value. In this case this museum shows over 98 great American sculptures for us to honor for the things they have done for us.…
This essay is about my first experience at the Museum of Tolerance. Although the museum was very informative, the one main detail that it did not have was many actual artifacts. It had a few artifacts, but none that were noteworthy or interesting in regards to history. My experience in the Museum of Tolerance mostly focuses on the holocaust exhibit of the museum, which then relates to Anti-Semitism and the Swastika. It then goes in depth about the Swastika and how it came to be.…
Six million Jews were killed by the Nazi administration and their collaborator is what I already know about the Holocaust before visited it last Thursday. The History of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum located on 100 Raoul Wallenberg PI SW, Washington, DC 20024, as I got the address from their website. I got lost, however, the experience was totally worth it. Their hour that day was 10a.m until 5:15p.m. The only place that required ticket is Permanent Exhibit, other than that the museum open for everyone and there is no fee to enter. I thought visiting during the weekday would help with the crow but it still so crowed. The elevator is always full. There is no parking spot. These two things are probably the reasons why I gave it…
The many exhibits in the museum explore different types of hatred, prejudice, and discriminations. The first exhibit is on globalhate.com and interactive investigation of hate websites on the internet. Before the year 2000 there were fewer than 30 hate websites on the entire World Wide Web now in present day 2005 there are thousands of sites advocating various hate groups. Websites that advocated different ideas like Nazis, to people for the deportation of immigrants, and hatred toward blacks, woman and the disabled. This exhibit showed that even though it is not something we see everyday it is something that is being advocated everyday and night and needs to be put to a halt. If we pretend that it is not affecting us we will learn the hard way that if it is not stopped soon who knows what our future and a world can be.…

Los Angeles is a busy city that has a lot of great places to visit. For example, restaurants, little places to shop and most important educational places like the Museum of Tolerance. I chose the museum of tolerance to write my new assignment for my class because the name fascinated me and it is a place where I can go with my family. This museum gives examples of tolerance to its visitors by the setups it has inside. The museum is located on the west side of Los Angeles on Pico Boulevard. To enter this museum is not easy, they have checked by security two times before you go inside the building. They check you at the entrance of the parking lot and again after you pay for your tickets…
The whole story of the Holocaust is a very sad and depressing. When you first enter the museum, each person is given a passport with a picture of a child on it. Each child was involved in the Nazi rule and had their life forever altered because of it. As you go through the exhibits, you learn about the child and what happens to them throughout the Holocaust. At the end of this exhibit, you put your passport into a machine, and it tells you what happened to the child that you had. The one that I had was only six years old, and she didn't make it. There is one exhibit that is called "The Hall of Testimony". This is where you can hear the stories of the Holocaust survivors. There are also artifacts and documents that this museum withholds. It has actual copies of letters from Anne Frank. It's amazing that there are actual real documents that were able to be saved from this time. There are also images of the bunk beds that people were ordered to sleep in while they were in the death camps. The living conditions weren't by any standard, reasonable. The whole section of the museum made me appreciate the life that I live.…
I decided to do extra credit for a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance. On Sunday, March 13, I went to the Museum of Tolerance with my sister. The first thing I noticed was you can’t bring camera to the Museum of Tolerance. As for me, I love taking picture and I was very disappointed. However, I went inside to the Museum of Tolerance and I kind of understand why you can’t bring camera to the museum. The Museum of Tolerance, in my opinion, is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells the story of Holocaust and shows how the Jewish people were treated during that time. The museum shows film footage of deportation scenes and simulated sets of concentration camps. Although the basis of the museum is the Holocaust, the museum also makes people face racism and prejudices. The museum is anything other than ordinary and it is a very educational experience that I had before Getty Museum.…
Other forms of degradation were pogroms, or organized demonstrations against Jews. The first, and most infamous, of these pogroms was Krystallnacht, or "The night of broken glass". This pogrom was prompted by the assassination of Ernst von Rath, a German diplomat, by Herschel Grymozpan in Paris on November 7th, 1938. Two days later, an act of retaliation was organized by Joseph Gobbels to attack Jews in Germany. On the nights of November 9th and 10th, over 7,000 Jewish businesses were destroyed, 175 synagogues demolished, nearly 100 Jews had been killed, and thousands more had been injured, all for the assassination of one official by a Jew. In many ways, this was the first major act of violence to Jews made by the Nazis. Their intentions were now clear.…
When thinking of sculptures, one of the first that comes to mind is David. This statue was created of marble between 1501 and 1504 and stands over 14 feet high. David is a symbol that represents strength and anger. The statue had intended political connotations for the ruling of the Medici family. Michelangelo used David as model of "heroic courage" to demonstrate that "spiritual strength can be more effective than arms". Michelangelo insisted that David should stand as a symbol of the republic and act as a warning that Florence shall be governed justly and bravely". This was the first time since antiquity that a large nude statue be exhibited in a public place.…
Deep within the safety of The Louvre many of the world’s most recognizable and influential pieces of art are safely kept for the eyes of the art loving public. One of the most mysterious paintings in the museum is a portrait of a beautiful renaissance era woman sitting in front of a landscape of hills and flowing water. She stands at almost three feet tall by two feet wide and her smile is recognized around the globe. The mystery behind her meaning, who she is, and the hidden messages that the portrait is said to contain have captivated people for centuries. She is called the Mona Lisa she is said to be one of the best known, most visited, and most written about works…
