decided to do extra credit for a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance. On Sunday‚ March 13‚ I went to the Museum of Tolerance with my sister. The first thing I noticed was you can’t bring camera to the Museum of Tolerance. As for me‚ I love taking picture and I was very disappointed. However‚ I went inside to the Museum of Tolerance and I kind of understand why you can’t bring camera to the museum. The Museum of Tolerance‚ in my opinion‚ is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells

Little did we know‚ when we were sent on a field trip to the Ayala Museum‚ what we would see there. All that we were told was that it was an "educational field trip" and something to do with Filipiniana.net’s advocacy of anything and everything Filipino. So‚ we were really in for a treat when we set foot on the fourth floor of the museum and a short film started to play the moment we stepped inside the sliding doors. "Gold of Ancestors: Crossroads of Civilization"‚ it began‚ and went on to show some

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
