San Fernando Museum
From visiting the California mission of San Fernando museum was really great experience I had a tour guide that was showing me all the great and important history of the California mission. The museum that I went was called “Mission San Fernando, Rey De España”. I learnt that this museum is a pictorial history, which I found so many religious pictures and also some clothes of the saints. I found so many pictures, icons and some workshops that it was all about Christianity religion, I found also a big church that looked like a catholic and when I went I found there was like a wedding there inside the church which was the “Old Mission Church” a church inside a museum was a weird thing because I see it as a first time in my life a church and

    In “Why Museums are the New Churches” by Jason Farago, he argues how the art museum has surpassed the church as the most important and ultimate building of our society. Also, Farago continues to show how people mimic and copy religious acts and rituals while visiting a museum. He provides numerous examples from history and buildings from around the world. He also gives many modern examples of this shift from churches to museums. Throughout his writing, Farago builds an argument that museums have become the most vital building, and he uses some interesting techniques along the way.…

    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.…

    The site I chose to visit for my on-site project was the Largo Argentina’s temples. Being so close to my apartment, I walk past the Largo Argentina temples almost every day.

However, I have never taken the time to examine each thing inside the Largo Argentina temples.

    A few months ago I visited the History Colorado Center museum in Denver. One of the exhibits is about the internment camp Amache-Granada that is located in southeastern Colorado. It was a very nice exhibit, during the exhibit a video played that went over the history of Amache and the internment of the Japanese Americans. During the video there was a picture of little girl with her hand over her heart. The voice on the video said “When I went to school on December 8th, kids came up to me and shouted, “your people bombed Pearl Harbor!” I had no idea what they were talking about. I am an American.” (Unknown, n.d) The picture of the little girl and her words stuck with me! When I saw the topic Japanese Americans on this discussion the first thought…

    For this assignment we had to visit to houses of worship. I decided to visit a catholic church called Our Savior Parish with my roommate, who visits this church on every Sunday, and the Masjid Omar ibn Al-Khattab Mosque. I have been to a church before, and I visited a mosque during high school, but nevertheless quite some time has passed since I last visited a house of worship. So I want to begin with sharing the impression that I made during my visit to the church. We went there on Sunday, March 2nd at 10pm. I was quite surprised by that you can go to church this late, back home people usually go to mass in the morning or at 7pm for the evening mass. The church looked like a typical church from the outside, with stone optic and stain glass windows. Inside there were pews for the people to sit and a holy water font. At the back of the church in the middle was the altar, the priest was speaking to the audience from there. Everything was decorated nicely and the whole architecture was designed to look very antique. When the mass began there were about 70 people in the audience, and most of them were USC students. It was a very divers group, there were people from all different races, and there were about as many men as there were women. At the beginning the priest told us to introduce ourselves to the people who sat near us, which I thought was nice because you get familiar with the people next to you. That was new for me. The topic of the mass was the upcoming lent, and the priest told us a story out of his life. Basically, he left a very well a paid job to become a priest because he realized that money is not everything in this world. So he told us to let go and not get too attached to material things. Ironically, as the mass progressed the priest was asking for donations. This part of the mass got stuck in my head because he spent a lot of time explaining how we can make the payments. This was…

    Jerusalem, especially the Old City is a heritage of three different religions and a multitude of different nations. The place that I wanted to visit the most was the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, place that commemorates the hill where Jesus Christ was crucified and His tomb where He was buried. This site is controlled by The Greek Orthodox Church, but people from many different religious backgrounds visit the church. What I found absolutely amusing is that there are no descriptions inside the church of the exhibits. Only during my second visit to the church I realized that Golgotha (the hill of crucifixion) was located inside the church. When I…
