    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…

    A method of critiquing colonial dominance within museums, is critical museology. Shelley Butler uses critical museology to argue against a colonial politics of domination in museums. Butler argues that colonial museums were both ‘silent, and silencing’ (Butler, 2000, p.76). Colonial museums were silencing as they subjected the artefacts to a Western gaze, only artefacts deemed visual interesting were to be shown. The lack of contextualisation of these artefacts meant that they became art for viewing, not for understanding. Svetlana Alpers creates a theory for the lack of contextualisation, naming it the ‘museum-effect’. The museum-effect is ‘the tendency to isolate something from its world, to offer it up for attentive looking and thus to transform it into art’ (Alpers, 1991, p.27). By privileging viewing the object in this way, colonial museums began to enforce the idea of the museum as a space for seeing, or, ‘a space of the 'do not touch’.’ (Hetherington, 2000, p.451). Not only has the idea of the museum as a space in which touch is disallowed been carried through to post-colonial museums, so too has the museum…

    The museum has always been a place for all different types of people from the public to go and appreciate art and feel reconnected with the past. People may go to the museum for these reasons or a variety of others.

Specifically speaking the museum has a big influence on the public and Ancient Egypt.

    On the Third day of our trip we visited the lovely temple of Chamundeshwari which was again a very beautiful temple situated at quite a height and following to that we went to see the Nandi Bull carved out of a single rock. Heavy detailing on that rock to make it look like Nandi was totally awesome. Later on that day we visited the Mysore Palace which was outrageously big and luxurious. It showed us what kind of life does a king live. It had various artifacts taken from various countries which dated long back. The paintings were bliss on the palace walls. Next stop was to the summer palace of Tipu Sultan where his various artifacts and memorabilia were kept. The exhibition was quite informative. Then we headed for the palace of Tipu Sultan which was sadly destroyed by the British people. We managed to take a look at where Tipu Sultan was found dead and the Water gate through which no person could ever come to his palace. Our next destination was to a 1200 years old temple, where the statues of the gods and goddesses…
