CDC Museum Observation
During the CDC museum visit, the two exhibits I found the most interesting were "Where Children Sleep: Photographs by James Mollison" and the Iron Lung. Both of these exhibits caught my attention and I learned a lot from the tour guide, especially about the iron lung and polio. The “Where Children Sleep” exhibit was very enlightening and it was fascinating to see how different children live across the united states and the world. In the photos that I took pictures of, there was a young boy form Italy and a young boy from brazil and both were around the same age. The stark contrast between how they live was thought provoking; the young boy from Italy was homeschooled with his siblings in a nice home on the country side and lived freely and comfortably,

    McNeil Museum of Art is located in Universal City, which has a large metropolitan population of 2.5 million residents. In they year 2004, they recorded their 3rd annual loss of ($383,715); totaling ($794,086) in the past 3 years. They have also depleted their savings and the interest they make on investments is declining with no positive sights in the near future. The museum makes 43% of their $6,657,644 revenue from the 17,634 membership dues charged to personal and corporate accounts. The amount of memberships has been down for the past 5 years. The memberships cost $854,461 plus extract $1,057,800 from their income due to benefits given to members. 80% of membership revenues come from personal accounts, the other 20% comes from corporate accounts. 475 association members volunteer, which saves the museum a substantial amount of operations cost that they do not have to pay employees. McNeil does not charge the public for museum visits, and therefore all other revenue is made by contributions, grants, Fannel County, investments, and auxiliary activities. The museum could potentially have over 2.5 million visits each year if all members of Fannel County attended at least once; however, they are only attracted 628,472 attendants in the year 2004. McNeil Museum of Art’s image is often criticized for only being an exclusive parking and lunching attraction for the rich members. The museum also faces a major awareness issues; director of development and community affairs, Ashley Mercer, claims that people don’t even know what the museum is or the things that it offers. They promote the awareness through publications, press releases, and other ways of informing the public; and although awareness is such an issue, Mercer clearly stated that the Board of Trustees would not allow them to increase these costs in the year 2005, which was $594,067 in 2004, an increase of 31% from 2003. Also, there are many monetary decisions that the company can make to fix their…

I came long away from Nepal to Hawaii for my study and I have heard that there are numbers of historical places to visit but never got chances to visit any historical place of Hawaii. My professor Dr.Gilbert gave me that opportunity to visit idyllic and quiet property in the middle of downtown Mission Houses Museum on Tuesday April 3, 2012.

    As known in the Isabella Gardner Museum, a very cherished institution. Over $500 million of dollars in art has been stolen from there, and authorities have had difficulties in finding the paintings and the thefts, because as said in paragraph twenty three that "many people in possession of the WPA don't know that they don't have legitimate claim on the paintings, they may have found them at the grandparent's house and they try selling them to dealers or auction houses but what they really don't know is that the government has full custody of the paintings".…

    The museum I chose to visit for my Cultural Event Report is The Virginia Living Museum. I attended 11/8/2011 with my boyfriend and his daughter. I loved the museum; it had so many different aspects to it and exhibits to see. The two exhibits I was intrigued by were The Virginia’s World of Darkness Gallery and The Virginia’s Underground Valley. The Virginia’s World of Darkness Gallery had a lot of different animals from sharks, which scare me but intrigue me, to moon jellyfish. It intrigued me because I used to go to the beaches around Virginia and would see shark fins and dolphin fins and always wonder about the animals and would love to see them in their habitat. This way you can actually see them and learn about them at the same time. There were other animals there as well like pine voles, flying squirrels, ghost crabs, bats, tree frogs, lobsters, and sting rays. They range from amphibians, aquatic life, mammals, birds, and reptiles. You can see each set of animals in their own habitat. I would definitely suggest everyone visit this museum if they are in the area.…

    During a recent visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art, I was able to view many pieces and types of artwork. This particular museum exhibits pieces that come from the period of the Ancient Egyptians all the way up to modern art. It was a very interesting experience and one that I would definitely like to repeat in the future. The piece that was most interesting to me was a Roman floor mosaic that depicts The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. A mosaic is a picture or pattern created by fixing together mall pieces of stone, glass, tile and other materials (DeWitte, Larmann and Shields 629)…

    I caught the faint laughter of the museum inhabitants and the shuffle of their feet, but other than that, I walked around the Metropolitan Museum in silence. The statues looked ethereal and stoic, the clay figures reminded me of a paused TV, but I was searching for something that I could hear. I strolled up to Gao Keming’s handscroll “Stream and Mountains under Fresh Snow” and the painting was more than what you could catch at a first glance. I caught the sound of a rushing steam, the stuffed crunch of snow being mated by footsteps, and silence of a different kind. It was the silence of nature that I usually head back home, and the echoing of my eardrum searching for noise, only hearing the muffled incoherent clamor from someplace far. I…

    A historical site that is well known in the United States calls for a better way of preparation. When I learnedthat I was going to visit Carnton museum, I passably prepared in order to make this actual visit memorable and outstanding. Although many people have visited this site and written a lot about it, there cannot be a better feeling than having direct experience. So, I had to be set both physically and psychologically. First of all, I collected a little information about the place. This information helped me to tell myself with the backgrounds as I had not conducted a survey which can help one to understand the place which is I visit. I prepared a notebook which I used to take down important things about this wonderful site. Also, I bring my phone camera and I took some picture for myself over there. The best way to capture a moment is through the use of photos and I was not going to miss this moment forever. I also use google map in the place just in case if I lost my way, they gave me a map but I'm thinking it is not helpful because of…

    Specifically choosing one male and one female parent and asking them some questions inquiring why they brought their children to the museum and what did they gain from the visit? The parents were more than happy to bring light to this subject. While some parents had different answers to my questions, all the answers were very similar to each other. Parent number one answered stating that she brought her daughter to the museum to let her engage in the experience of playing with other children her age. Not only that, but also to encourage the use of imagination and gain some qualities that otherwise may not be obtained from a television show or video game. The object was to encourage her daughter to stay active while learning which fun is for the child. Parent number two had a similar answer. He was a man named Chris; and he is the father of one boy whose mother had passed away. He states, “I bring my son here to encourage active learning, its fun for both of us and I want him to be the best he can be. Being around other peers his age in these little real world exhibits encourages independence and gives them knowledge of the real world that they may not have had. When my son grows up I want him to know the basics of a grocery store or police station even if he has never been in a real one. On top of that my son will not be inside all day, lots of physical activity and imagination emphasizes a healthy…
