Unlike the Western tradition point of view towards arts and museums, museums developed in the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey did not only play the role of place for displaying and reserving visual arts, but more associated with narratives of territoriality, ethnicity and nationhood. Many arts works in those museums were not form of art, but more like an ideology that the Ottoman Empire tried to deliver to its citizens and aliens. In the Imperial Palace, several treasury collections…

relationship with art, collectors, and museums. I discuss the influence of collectors and major art galleries as it pertains to the embedded systems within museum curating, specifically how it affects the behavior of modern artists. The intent of the artist is perhaps the most influential in regards to what is created. It affects every decision of the art process and philosophy. However, there seem to be fallacies within the paradigm, most of which apply to a gallery or museum representation.…

repatriation. Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, Maxwell Anderson, is one of those people. Anderson believes that efforts should be taken to return these stolen artifacts to their country of origin and he has even enforced the art repatriation campaign within the Dallas Museum of Art. Though he shows great support for the movement he does have his limits. He believes that after a certain, unspecified, amount of time the artifacts become apart of the heritage of the museums in which they are…

ask. A lot of people are started to fight against the relocation of artifacts, (ex) If an artifact was found in Rome, and it was taken to a U.S Museum. This would first of all, defeat the main purpose of traveling, to see the artifacts that belong to the country/state. In other words artifacts look more natural in its original place, instead of a Museum. Sure, more people will get to look at the artifact and maybe learn more about it, but the point of seeing an artifact is to go the specific…

Going to two of the most popular museums in New York City to learn about African art and history did not seem of interest to me until I was forced to by the Summer Class I was taking at Pace. In my mind I kept thinking it was going to be a waste of my time when I could be enjoying my summer weekend in the city. However, I was mistaken and my breath was taken away from our history of humans to the African tradition and how it impacts us. This project showed me the connection of art and history in…

the San Diego Museum of Art, it is easy to see the amazing building and the work of art it is just by itself. The tall building has a very detailed and beautiful façade. The building shows an influence from cathedral and other ancient buildings from Europe. The decorated building makes the visitor feel as though they are stepping into a building in Europe.

Displaying the artwork appropriately is also of utmost importance when planning a museum. The order in which pieces are displayed affects the flow of the visitor’s experience. Appropriate height for each piece requires consideration. Additionally, the ambiance and size of the room also hold specific requirements in a museum setting. The Louvre established standards in all of the above mentioned areas. When designing the Met, architects took these aspects into consideration in attempts to…

The role of Museum There are serval reasons that why people visit the museum. First, museums make people feels good.
