Leonardo And Aquarium Comparison

Superior Essays
The Leonardo and the Aquarium are both great museums, but there are many differences, while there are also many things in common. Today I will be comparing and contrasting the Leonardo and the Aquarium. These two museums are full of many fun things to do, Let's start with The Leonardo. The Leonardo is a large museum up in Salt Lake City. The exterior of this building looks very interesting. It has large flat pillar like structures panning around the building, some with interesting designs and others just a plain brown. There are lights that are on the roof, projecting light on the sides at night, so you can see "The Leonardo" Written in big letters at the front. As you enter the museum in a door at the side of the building, there is a place for your coats so you don't have to carry it wherever you go. When I went there for a field trip, I think this is the only time it is used. It makes sense because it wouldn't be wise just to leave your stuff in there with other peoples stuff. The Leonardo is a fun museum because almost everything is hands on! The Aquairium has some things hands on, like the touch pools they have, full of …show more content…
The Aquarium is located in Draper. It's full name is The Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. The Exterior of the Aquarium is amazing! Most of the building are glass panels, but the other part is a brick, colored in different blues and grey! It looks quite modern, looking at the design. And there is also a large fin sticking out the side of the aquarium. When you walk in, you are quickly exposed to a large open room, already filled with many things and people. There are whales and sharks hanging from the ceiling and a gift shop on your left. In the middle they have a coin "whirlpool". You place a coin in a small slot, this then pushes the coin and it spirals down until the very end. There were stairs leading up to a second floor and rooms full of sea creature wonders! This Aquarium has over 2,400 sea creatures and

    A visit to a museum is not just about the historical and educational gainings and stimulations, but also about entertainment, luxury and comfort. In an era where people cannot be separated from their smartphones, it is rare to be attracted by something older and traditional. The image plays a dominant role in attracting the public. For most individuals, it is preferable to examine the past while being inside of an exceptional modern environment rather than an old, former home. Thus, it is not about brand, it is about the whole experience, that unfortunately today must be accompanied by all those modern elements that rule people's daily lives and have become a plasmatic necessity.…

    The Steinhart Aquarium also placed tanks of marine life much differently than in the Monterey Bay Aquarium, because they often put things below eye level. I think this is good for the viewing perspective of children, but even myself standing at around five feet had to hunch over once in a while to view specimens. Both Aquariums had an area to touch area to touch certain sea stars, and thankfully both were supervised by Aquarium staff to ensure the safety of the specimens. The descriptions of the specimens within the Aquariums were both easily understandable for the general public. However, the Steinhart Aquarium provided in depth and descriptive information for certain specimens in the aquarium.…

    Inside the Aquarium, by Viktor Suvorov, is a spy novel that tells the story of his personal rise and fall of being a GRU officer during the Cold War. Even though this novel is classified as a biography, not all of it should be assumed as true. Through analyzing how Suvorov portrays the adversaries, the allies, and the tradecraft in the novel, a deduction can be drawn to if this novel is a credible source of information. The first area to analyze to determine the credibility of Inside the Aquarium is how Viktor Suvorov portrays the adversaries through their militaries, societies, and intelligence organizations.…

    Indiana State Museum Essay

    • 1137 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The first thing that caught my attention about the Indiana State Museum was that the museum is basically divided into two parts. It is divided into the natural history side and the cultural history side. I found this very interesting, as I had just assumed that everything in the museum was imported, categorized, and stored in similar manors. When you think about it, it makes sense to divide the museum into two parts as it allows the staff members of the two teams to be specialized experts in their fields, rather than to just know a lot about all of this history in the museum. It also makes sense in that obviously historical documents and dinosaur bones will have to be processed and stored in very different ways.…

    On my visit to the Kimbell Art Museum there were two artifacts that I found interesting. The first one was “Urn in the Form of Cociyo, God of Lightning and Rain”. It is of Zapotec culture from the site Monte Albán Illa (in modern day Oaxaca, Mexico). This artifact stood out to me because of its weird and intriguing features. The eyes are shaped into two parts representing the clouds and the water needed to grow crops.…

    The publication “The Museum as Context” by Amy Tucker analyzes the environment of the museum and how culture and context is changed depending on the environment art is presented in. The purpose of art exhibitions is to show the audience an organized presentation of particular art pieces. The question raised in this chapter is whether the organization of the presentation is precise to represent each piece of work and does this representation distort the meaning of a piece. There are many ways art exhibitions are presented and displayed, from light to temperature. Exhibits can be considered a piece of art themselves due to the specific arrangements and methods of displaying items to connect the viewers with each piece of work.…

    I have always had a passion for history and storytelling since I was a child and decided in seventh grade world history class that I wanted to be an archaeologist, discovering ancient cultures and uncovering their secrets. I maintained this plan, arriving at Boston University as an archaeology major but after several semesters of study realized that it wasn’t the exact path for me. I began to grow my appreciation of museums, admiring how they could ignite wonder, curiosity, and learning in myself and others. I realized this was where I felt most at home. Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…
