    My trip to the Barnes Foundation museum was enjoyable and informative. On my trip, as we moved through the galleria I was astounded by how the rooms in the galleria were arranged. It was not like your average museum, with one or two paintings on the walls with a description of it underneath. Instead, there were rooms with paints all over the walls, along with iron work that correlated with the pieces. Our tour guide elaborated on how he did not wish for there to be a description under the pieces of art stating their background.…

    It is a well-known fact that the Jewish Holocaust was a time of death and despair. Lasting throughout the 1940’s, countless innocent Jews were deported into ghettos, labor camps, and even death camps where mass exterminations would then occur. Indeed, the camp system was, without a doubt, cruel and unforgivable. However, two particular camps of that time period, known as Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen, would not only be connected by railroads, but as well as a young girl named Anne Frank.…

    The Dallas Museum of Art was the complete opposite of what I imagined it to be like. Before attending the museum, I had very low expectations. When I thought of “art museum” I imagined dusty walls lined with undiverse and outdated art. I imagined a place old couples went to because they had nothing better to do with their time. A place where the past lingered and grew old as civilization quickly moved on and forgot about it.…

    For the face-to-face reference encounter, I visited the Geneseo Public Library also known as the George B. Dedrick Library. I asked for information about the theft of the Mona Lisa.

    Though there is not much research regarding how different social statuses were treated within the relocation camps, there are many stories from the people of the concentration camps. Though life was not good in those camps, children had life just a bit better than any of the other prisoners. “The children’s diet did not differ much from that of adult prisoners. They were rationed black coffee or herb extract, black bread with margarine, turnip soup, and unpeeled boiled potatoes. Only the smaller children received thin slices of white bread and tiny pieces of butter.…

    The event I went to was part of the Rockhurst visiting scholar lecture series, that featured Eva Mozes Kor a survivor of the Holocaust. This event was divided into three different parts by Eva Kor: how she survived the Holocaust, the lessons she has learned, and at the very end when she finished her lecture she took a few questions. The entire event lasted about an hour and a half. While the subject of the lecture was a very deep subject, Eva Kor lightened the mood in a way. Eva Kor was only 10 years old when she was packed in a cattle car and arrived at Auschwitz with her family.…

    Since I had visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time, I had wanted to go to the Cloisters. During the afternoon in the back of my father’s Honda civic, I sat wondering what the Cloisters would have inside or even look like. From my neighborhood of Jackson Heights to Washington Heights, the demographics changed throughout. Along northern boulevard from Jackson Heights up until Long Island City, I had noticed the demographic change. Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst remained, for the most part, a Latinx populated area.…

    The moment I stepped out of the subway of 42nd Street in Manhattan, I was overwhelmed with a sense of wonder. The kind that let you know everything that there is to see on Broadway, at the same time, reminding you that you have neither the time nor the resources for such adventure. I stood still for a moment, admiring the extraordinary, bright neon signs. I took a deep breath and pulled out my phone in search of the famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. As the location appeared on my phone, I started walking toward it.…
