    While movies are meant to convey a plot to the audience, the way in which they are filmed is very significant. During each period of time, movies focus on different aspects and chose different ways to convey ideas based on the popular culture.

For the movie, Three Coins in the Fountain stylistic choices from clothing, scenery and cinematography all influence how the audience receives the message of a movie, and in this case, attempts to draw tourists into the city.

    One of the exhibits at the British Museum that has attracted millions of visitors is the collection of sculptures from the Parthenon known as the Elgin Marbles. These marbles have been at the centre of debate for years over where they should reside. They are originally from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, and there is controversy over whether or not the Trustees of the British Museum legally acquired the collection. Lord Elgin’s illegitimate acquisition of the Parthenon sculptures along with the damage caused to the marbles support the argument to return them back to Athens where they can be viewed in their intended context. The Elgin Marbles are a symbol of national pride and history for the city of Athens that would attract tourists and…

Since I was a teenager, I remember starting to become an aficionado about old currency such as owning one, two, and a ten dollar bill from twenty years ago. The fading of the old ink from the paper makes me want to have it in my own personal collection. Because I like to collect old American money, my favorite American collection is ex-confederate currency from the nineteenth century. The Boston Athenaeum museum has a collection of over six thousand items of ex-confederate currency.…
