National Museum
A. PROCEEDINGS:

Another Sunday (August 11, 2013) has come and another Research day we need to do and the research what I am talking about is the Museum. A usual, I woke up early to prepare my things. I took a bath, I ate my breakfast then I brush my teeth and lastly I wore my clothes then I decided to leave the house and go to the meeting place. I ride on a jeep onto legarda then another jeep onto Manila City Hall. When I arrived at Manila City Hall, I quickly go to UDM to wait for the others to come. And when we are all there, we started walking until we reached the National Museum beside of Luneta Park. That was Sunday so we entered the Museum just for free then we walked around and keep taking pictures with the displays in the Museum. I keep observing every fossils in the cage and it was really amazing, if you will read the description you will really appreciate it because it was found long time ago. I was totally shock for some stuffs there like the birds, butterflies, rats, eagle, etc. because they been dissected and displayed there. At the same time I felt awesomeness because of the great things I saw inside of the museum. We went to the 2 Buildings of National Museum, which the 1st building shows the majority of the tribe’s thing and culture system and the 2nd Building shows the majority fossils they got from different corners of the Philippines. In the entrance, you will immediately saw the “spolarium” of Juan Luna because it will grab your attention aside from being big, you will be amazed if how did do that. I think all of the items there are worth Billion if you will sell it. But then, I enjoyed the Costumes of our” katutubos” and actually I really want to try it. While walking and observing around, taking pictures didn’t stop especially me, because I am a kind of person who is really vain taking of pictures of myself. The museum was too big and it is compose of how many floors, so it takes an hour to see all the displayed materials/things in the

    Achilles and Ajax depicting the death of Achilles, a Greek black figure amphora, currently in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, originally found in Orvieto, Italy, was most likely used as a funerary vessel to be placed on a tomb. In Greek culture it was common to illustrate significant events on vessels, including the death of Achilles. Achilles, considered immortal, was known as the best fighter of his time and his death was a shock to everyone.…

    JFK Museum

    • 627 Words

    The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza was nothing short of an amazing experience. It provides an abundant amount of interesting information about John F. Kennedy and goes into a lot deeper depth than just the day of the shooting. I have always loved going to museums and finding out interesting things about the past, and it is even a bigger thrill when you are actually at the place where history happened. The Sixth Floor Museum provides information about JFK's early life, family, campaign runs, and shooting. Most of the museum is just on one floor of the building, yet it fits so much information and diagrams in it. It is also well organized and makes you follow a path that shows all of JFK's historical moments in chronological order and not just giving out information at random moments. The museum also shows the window that Lee Harvey Oswald peered out of to snipe down the president with the boxes where he propped his rifle. In addition, there are voice recordings playing from when the event took place to give you a closer experience. Even after fifty years since the shooting, it is still a haunting site see as you can almost picture the event happening right in front of you. And just incase you cant picture the event at first by looking out the window, the museum provides and helpful glass cased diagram of the buildings and roads showing exactly where in Elm St JFK was shot and where the shots were coming from. I felt the information given was unbiased and appeals to all people for it gives straight facts about what happened during JFK's presidency and the day of the shooting. Even for the people who do not believe it was Oswald, the museum also provides a whole bulletin board filled with conspiracy theories making sure that nothing is ruled out.…

    Blanton Museum

    During our visit to the Blanton Museum on Thursday we analyzed Francisco de Goya’s series of prints including La tauromaquia (1815-1816), Los desastres de la guerra (1810-1820), Los disparates (1815-1823) and other paintings selected to be featured in the exhibit. The first room was headed by a self portrait of Goya in Traje de luces introducing the La tauromaquia series. I was taken aback when I walked into the first exhibit room and saw the amount of detail in each of Goya’s pieces. We can only imagine the amount of time these took and how tediously each one had to be drawn to fulfill the copious amounts of detail these etching and aquatints required.…

    Presentation is everything. People often over look something because the first impression they experience is lack luster. The Sutliff museum is full of timeless treasures, offering a wonderful insight to 19th century history and the underground railroad. Unfortunately, the current promotional material does not do the museum justice. It appears out date and doesn't grab the attention of an audience. I’d like to rebrand the promotional material for The Sutliff Museum so that it reflects an updated, fresh design that draws people to the museum. My intent is to design two brochures, an information flyer, and update the website layout.…

    Museums bring history and culture to life by allowing individuals to gain unique hands on experience that is different from learning from textbooks or television. One can never know the reality behind certain artifacts and art until they see it for themselves. The perception of viewing a multitude of replicas and pictures such as the Mona Lisa can be dramatically different from witnessing the painting up close. The interactive experience allows one to engage and immerse ourselves back into time to learn about the truth of different cultures and traditions. The intent of museums is not purely to enthrall historians and scholars, but to create an environment which is welcoming to all individuals. While historians argue that museums…

    The Appleton Museum is undeniably a treasured gem to the Central Florida area. Many residents to the region are unaware of the history located right in their backyards. I’ve lived in the area my entire life and never had any knowledge of this incredible gallery. When I caught wind of the assignment, my initial thought was that I was going to have to go visit an old, beat up building that displays some prints that great artists around the world have created. I was delighted to find out just how wrong I was for thinking that way. The Appleton Museum is filled with exquisite and original paintings, impressions, sculptures, and pottery from around the world, dating all the way back to the 1600’s. I had many favorites that caught my eye, but there were a few that really stick out in my mind.…

    Ethnographic Museums

    • 633 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In this essay, I will argue that ethnographic museums privilege viewing, at the expense of other senses. I will further argue that by privileging the visual, ethnographic museums become problematic in two ways- firstly, by not accurately representing the cultures they are supposed to be exhibiting, and secondly, by limiting the experience of museum-goers who may be visually impaired or otherwise unable to visit museums that are purely mono-sensorial. After outlining and discussing the problems associated with ocularcentric post-colonial museums, I will offer a few solutions to these problems.
The majority of colonial museums privileged viewing and the visual. In the 17th and 18th century, Europeans believed reason and sensuality to be opposing…

    On October 15th 2016, my family and I decided to visit the Baltimore Art Museum (BMA) which is located in the heart of Baltimore.

    Philadelphia Art Museum

    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.…

    Philippine Treasure

    • 360 Words
    • 2 Pages

    After watching the documentary of Philippine treasures, I have been get more knowledge about our ancestors treasures remains and I think that the early Filipinos living in the Philippines already had an advanced civilization. Instilled something into me that we were rich, we were rich! We’re talking of gold here it is an opulence. During the early times, the Philippines was filled with gold. These gold were used for everyday clothing of the Filipinos, and even for accessorizing themselves. Our ancestors, the early Filipinos, were civilized enough to know how to process gold. They made many bowls, necklaces and earring out of gold. These gold were part of their daily lives. The Philippines is filled with natural resources, so there was abundance in gold. Some people were even dressed from head to toe in all gold. Also, the early Filipinos were able to craft a doll of a Goddess of Buddhism. This doll also called Golden Tara was a golden alloy, mixed with many other metals. This shows how the Filipinos were knowledgeable to creating alloys with different metal even before Westerners have arrived in our country. The Filipinos have even known how to sew shells and make clothes out of them! There are also several jars that represents the early Filipinos, these jars can be used for multi-purpose storage, because these jars can story many other things aside from water. All these many things were made even before the arrival of the Spaniards or other colonizers, so this shows that the early civilization of the Philippines was very unique and quite advanced. I like the show of Philippine Treasures. It really told us what are some things on this country or treasures are not yet seen by the FILIPINOS. Now I realized that we need to care and concern the importance of some ancient things. I also hope that efforts can be made by officials to preserve the Philippines historical…
