My favorite exhibit was in the BYU Museum, “To magnify the Lord: Six Centuries of Art and Devotion”. This exhibit was full of paintings, and artwork representing the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The religious artwork in this exhibit displays beautiful narratives of Christ’s life, and his ministry. All of the paintings in this exhibit relate back to the Savior, and they really emphasize the greatness, and the mercy of the Lord, and many of them portray events that occurred during his life. In this exhibit, I really like the painting by James T. Harwood, “Come Ye After Me”.…
For my Museum report I chose to go to the Ralph Mark Gilbert Museum. Someone I knew told me this was one of the best museum to go to and they had a lot of information on Savannah way back in the days when slavery was around. The civil rights movement made Ralph the father. When I walked into the museum the first thing that caught my eye was the parts on segregation. They had information on how colored people were treated and how whites acted towards colored.…
Even without stepping into the museums themselves, an initial sense of what they are about can be felt. A waterwheel turns across Historic Tredegar, repurposed from Tredegar Iron Works that overlooks the James River. The Virginia Holocaust Museum provides a stark contrast as it blends in with other multi-story buildings in downtown Richmond, easy to overlook even with the parking lot that provides a sign for the museum. The museums both represent pivotal moments in history, whether specific to the United States or globally, provide a generally linear walkthrough throughout the events, and offer a variety of viewpoints. The Civil War museum at Historic Tredegar showcased the two sides that divided and united the United States—the Union and Confederacy, but another side historically neglected, the slaves, and to a lesser extent, women and children.…
Light also creates the emotions in James Ingo Freed’s United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. It may not play as important of a role as in the Jewish Museum but still has some purpose of light and dark qualities to it. “The visitor’s passage through the building is a spatial and emotional journey through open light spaces into damp cramped dark spaces, over ramps and bridges, and through doorways that evoke the ‘selection’ of victims in the camp.” Freed’s idea is to create an emotional rollercoaster throughout the building similar to what a Jew would have gone through from before the war where they were normal, to the change of classification to vermin, and finally to freedom to reflect on the loss and how to cope with…
The Holocaust was a time of pure evil and grief. From when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, lasting to the day the war ended in 1945, the Jewish population was taken from their homes, put to work, and faced with shocking living conditions. One of Hitler’s goals was to racially cleanse the society of Germany and areas in Poland to become a complete Aryan race. In 1933 the first concentration camp was established. These camps were used as either work camps, transit camps, or killing camps.…
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators (“Introduction to Holocaust”). Beginning in late 1941, the Germans began mass transports from the ghettos in Poland to the concentration camps (“The Holocaust”). To facilitate the "Final Solution" (the genocide or mass destruction of the Jews), the Nazis established killing centers in Poland, the country with the largest Jewish population (“Holocaust Memorial Museum”). Five more mass killing centers were built at camps in occupied Poland, including Chelmno, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek and the largest of all, Auschwitz-Birkenau (“The Holocaust”). The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was one of the most gruesome camps during the Holocaust, where over one million prisoners were murdered.…
As though many of the exhibits and artifacts were appealing, I was mostly interested…
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.…
Check out Western Canal Ring. It houses some of the most poignant WWII history where Anne Frank and her family stayed hiding from the Nazis for more than two years. During their time in hiding, Anne Frank wrote a diary that would later become legendary and displayed for the world to see. If you want a more powerful museum that covers WWII history, then the Nieuwmarkt's Joods Historisch Museum will be an eye-opening experience. Visiting the Plantage neighborhood, the seafaring history of the city will become more…

Today Andres and his younger brother, Joshua, went to the Holocaust Museum with their school. They were the only ones with a grandfather who had died in the Holocaust. The museum was very beautiful and posh, all made of black marble, like millionaires’ houses. It was full of sad black-and-white pictures and lists of people, countries, and dead people. Andres walked past the pictures and his teacher said: "Don 't touch!"…

Museums as Learning Environments Museums serve as learning environments by providing information about specific subjects through exhibits. People visit museums to learn and experience new information. Every museum is focused on a particular subject, whether that is natural science, history, or culture. One visits a museum based on what one wants to learn about. If a particular person is very interested in the history of Native American’s then he/she will seek out a museum that provides exhibits and information about that subject.…
