For the sole purpose and interest in the art presented throughout the

Opposites Attract It was a bright sunny day outside and I could hear the sound of the ocean waves and seagulls. The water was rising and recoiling. I was rushing from the parking lot to the beach. I was hosting a party for four really important people and I was really excited and nervous because these four people were from opposite backgrounds. My guests were Lilly Singh‚ Katniss Everdeen‚ Demi Lovato‚ and Tris Prior. They were so different from each other that I didn’t know how this would end up

Are Seltz’s new Japanese museums ‘counter-museums’ by Patterson’s definition? Patterson and Seltz introduce new museums differing in subject matter‚ context and methodology‚ but sharing analogous goals.

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

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO Bilbao—today one of the top tourist destinations in Europe—was such a backwater in the 1990s that‚ according to Gehry‚ the 265‚000-square-foot museum‚ beside the Nervión River‚ went up almost unnoticed by the press. That only contributed to the drop-dead impact it created with its unveiling. “I like to work under the radar as much as I can. It’s been harder since I’ve gotten notorious‚” says Gehry.

when Holden is visits the museum of natural history with his younger sister Phoebe. He is so fond of the museum‚ in fact it is his favorite place. Holden states‚ “The best thing‚ though‚ in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Noboy’d move.

Holden enjoys the museum so much because of the fact
