For this reason, this museum is the second from the top 5 museums visited in New York. While I was visiting the museum I noticed people from all over the world as I could hear different languages like Mandarin, French, Spanish, German and others I couldn’t recognize. This could be also distinguish by their physical appearance as I saw diversity of people that look to be from different parts of the world.

The reason why I decided to visit this museum was because I always heard about it in school. Also, I had seen a picture of the skeleton of a Dinosaur on the subway which intrigued me and every time I wanted to go something came up, until I finally made the decision to go no matter what.

They offered not only maps in different languages on site, but they also have some application that can be downloaded on your phone for free and helps you during the visit. I just don’t know why they will offer different application rather than only one. In any case, I downloaded the general application which is called “Explorers” and gives you directions step by step of where to find the closest restroom and where to go to a certain exhibition. I found this was helpful because you do not need to keep asking people around the museum or looking at the map to see where is certain exhibition you are looking at. For people who decided to do not use this application, I still found comfortable on asking people in the museum for

    I was quite shocked that I actually enjoyed my visit to the Japanese American National Museum in little Toyko. In other words, I was honestly not interested in learning the particular history of Japanese Americans because I believed there was not much to learn but I was certainly wrong which is why I certainly do not regret the fact that I decided to visit this museum especially with a few of my classmates. It was quite nice, it not only had nice paintings that were perfect backgrounds for Instagram pictures, but it literally also had glass pink flowers hanging from the ceiling. If that wasn’t enough, a wall of real suit cases that once belonged to people was literally build.…

    Back in spring 2014, after visiting Carnegie Museum of Arts, I have also visited the Carnegie Museum Natural History. I found this museum more interesting than the first one because of the collection of art pieces which gives me very rare experience and so I enjoyed the galleries, photographs and different work of many other artists. It has maintained a great history work and so its importance can be imagined as it is among the top five natural history museums in the world. This is not merely a museum but alongside the art galleries, this museum also has a library and research center which enhance the importance of this place and so it always remains crowded with visitors, historians, researchers, etc.…

    Prior to my experience at the heard museum, I had no idea what to expect, what I would learn or if I would enjoy myself; however, immediately an interest in the museum began to grow as I started approaching the museum.

    The site I chose to visit was the Creation & Earth Museum located in Santee. This wasn’t my first encounter with this particular exhibit, and might I say, each encounter is more captivating than the last. What the Creation & Earth Museum set out to do, is provide a spiritual interpretation on scientific evidence that reinforce biblical accounts of creation. It’s the old tale of science versus religion, which the Creation & Earth Museum displays tastefully. Before I dive into what the exhibits have to offer, I was able to gather some information from a few people working the front desk.…

    I payed the surprisingly cheap entrance fee at the gift shop counter and continued on into the museum. The museum itself is expansive at least in information. The basic structure of the exhibits is to present a diorama or historical artifact on its chosen time period with a paragraph text on sheets of paper of varying sizes. Other more comprehensive information that couldn’t be summed up in relation to a visual aid were put on sheets of paper pasted onto semi-bulletin board stands and were written like printed-out high school essays.…
