Reflection On The Hall Of Marshall

Improved Essays
The Hall of Marshall, which is the name of my museum, located in Boston, Massachusetts includes all of my favorite, or most meaningful possessions or beliefs. My museum, much built like a cattle, but smaller, has only four rooms. Which is made out of grey stone, has a pointy roof, and big wooden doors. My museum, in every room, locates a possession that represents me. The reason my museum was built in Boston, Massachusetts, would be because that is where I was born and raised at, almost my whole life, as well as my family. If I were to setup a personal museum filled with my most prized possessions it would have a picture of the cross (indicating my belief of Christianity), a picture of the diploma I will receive when I graduate, pictures of …show more content…
I would put my earphones because they represent a lot about me as a person. Music is a big part of my life which I listen to every day.

Music has been a big part of my life for a while. Started at a young age because people in my family. People in my family have been involved into the music industry since I was around ten years old. One reason music has been a big part of my life other than family members, would be the connection I have with it. The artist I listen to I like to relate to what their talking about to something that happened that maybe I could relate to. Other times, when I listen to music I don’t always have to relate, half of the time I listen, I like to listen to their story and picture it as their telling it. Whether it’s a good, happy, sad, or inspiring, I like it. Another reason music is a big part of my life would be because the background.

Starting from my most important, down to my favorite. Starting at God, my high school diploma, family pictures, and lastly my earphones which represent my love for music. Putting together these items have made me think really hard that if I could actually only take four things that represents me. You can represent yourself in words, but picking physical objects that would represent me is very difficult and makes you think very hard. This could also make you think about what you want to be in life, to put into your museum.

    Traditionally, museums are considered secular sites in which curators display art objectively; however, in her work, “The art museum as ritual,” Carol Duncan examines how museums act as powerful entities which influence the visitors’ perception through the display, organization, and architecture of the space. She elaborates that the museum’s authority actually enables them to represent and define entire communities, which consequently shapes the visitors’ perceptions of said communities. Perhaps Duncan’s claim is best summarized as: “To control a museum means precisely to control the representations of a community and its highest values and truths… What we see and do not see in … museums and on what terms and by whose authority we do or do…

    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.…
