Improved Essays
“So guess where we’re going over spring break?” "Where?" I asked my mom. "Where going to St. Louis to visit a wax Museum." When she informed me regarding this outing I was not excited. I loathe leaving town. There 's nothing to do, you 're perched on your butt, and in the long run it begins to get numb; you 're exhausted for a considerable length of time. Also I have five more youthful siblings and sisters. I would need to it in the car with them the entire whole outing and they 're boisterous. I don 't care for being in the car with them for ten minutes; I didn 't know how I was going to survive an entire trip.

"What are we going in the Cellar for? I asked her, she lets me know "it 's an astonishment." We get in the cellar and it ends up being a spooky house. Can this spot show signs of improvement? There was blood everywhere throughout the floor. Aliens and Predators wax figures were moving, creeping everyone out. Rodents of mice and creepy crawlies were all over the place. Yucky gooey sludge was all over the place, and each turned I made I was panicked. I don 't know how however a portion of the figures were moving, I was excessively terrified.

    I woke up and I only had two hours of sleep, and my flight was leaving in two more hours. My head was pounding, I had a terrible headache and my throat was dry and in need of water, so I drank lots of Gatorade to avoid dehydration. My father picked me up at Renata’s house, and then we went to pick up my luggage and my aunts who were traveling back to the United States with me. Guasave had no airport so we had to go to Los Mochis; it was a thirty minutes drive and all I had in my mind was how much I would miss my family and friends, my mom cooking, my favorite places in Guasave such as Aroma café, the beach, the seafood, and the delicious restaurants.…

    5,000 miles from our island home, we were catching the bus to a museum. We already visited war memorials and such, but today we were scheduled to see what would be the most impactful place of the trip. The overall energy of our group was rather low. As well as being tired we were dreading the emotional blow to come. Although we never covered the Holocaust in class, we all had a cursory understanding of what happened and therefore were unsure how well we would handle this museum.…

    Thomas Merton once said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” This quote is true, but it isn’t the whole story. A more appropriate description is: art gives the one looking at it an extraordinary feeling that is partially described by the quote above, but the only way to really know what that feeling is like is to experience it. In Mason City, we are very lucky to be able to have the chance to experience art in a variety of ways at our art museum, the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum. A part of their mission statement, as written on their website, is to “...sustain a thriving environment in which American art and exceptional collections are collected, stored, and displayed...”…

    For my museum visit paper, I decided to go to the Dali Museum. On my visit, I encountered a painting created by Salvador Dali titled “Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea, which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln”. Dali was born in Figueres, Spain in 1904 and was mainly a surrealist painter. This artwork was created around 1976 and it was painted using oil and collage on canvas. The style of this artwork would be considered surrealism, because of its irrational use of juxtaposition images.…

    How much architecture should be included in a museum? That is a question that not many visitors ask about a museum, however as an architect or designer it is a fundamental question to ask one’s self when it comes to describing a museum. It can become a debate, deciding whether the museum should or should not be a simple massing where art is displayed. If the answer is it should, then why not just design a white box where all the attention goes into the art on the inside? When it comes to museums, we think of a place where we can look back in time and experience the art that was once created by an amazing artist.…
