Established in 1941, the Norton Museum of Art holds 7,000 pieces in which features three main regions of art; American, Chinese, and European. Located in West Palm Beach Florida, this museum holds all forms of art work from paintings to sculptures to even ancient Chinese artifacts. The building was separated into three different levels each with their own unique layout to best exemplify the culture from which the artwork originated from. Starting with the first level, loud, cluttered yet…

Kehinde Wiley Exhibition I attended the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to observe Kehinde Wiley’s show. Kehinde Wileys art exhibition the “A New Republic” was an outstanding collection where he recreated paintings in the 21st century emphasizing race, gender and the political stance of representation. He wanted to create a space for African Americans in history. In the exhibit included “The Economy of Grace” series from his earlier works featuring men and women with detailed backgrounds, stained…

and history. I got to experience places that I have been waiting my whole life to see. Upon reflecting on the study-at-large as a whole, I think the most educational experiences I had were at the Museum of Modern Art, the United Nations, and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. I was so excited to visit the Museum of Modern Art. It held some of my favorite works from some of my favorite visual artists. I had taken four years of art in middle school and high school, so I have a fundamental understanding…

I went to the Harn Museum at UF. I had an overall positive impression of the museum. The museum was kept exceptionally clean. There were gardens through glass in multiple places which was a nice touch. The museum was not busy the day I went, but if it was there would have been enough room for everyone to move around. The lighting was good and sensors were set up to warn security if someone was getting to close. It was free admission so not having to pay anything was nice. The people up front…

Wales, Take That, Mick Jagger, Kylie Minogue and Dita Von Teese. “Mrs. Jones was born in Cheshire and schooled in Liverpool, he became a part of the London fashion scene during its explosion of street style in the late Seventies. A student at Central Saint Martins, he was also one of the era's style-blazers at the now legendary Blitz nightclub in London - where he always sported a striking hat of his own idiosyncratic creation. (Bumpus, 2010)” In 1980, Mr. Jones opened is first millinery salon…

King 's College London (KCL) is very much focused on the importance of an international student experience. Please talk about internationalization from your own perspective and how having an international experience at KCL would contribute towards you becoming a ‘global citizen’. I was not sure what to expect when I accepted a summer internship at a small law firm in Boston. On the website, there were attorneys for just about every type of practice; you could finance a start-up and begin…

entrenched the centers and museums to counteract the influence of mainstream America. In Karen Mary Davalos novel, “Exhibiting Mestizaje,” she states that, “Yet they did not take the public museum as their guide; not only did they lack the money and the trained staff, they focused on those subjects denied by the public museum’s homogenized narrative and history of the United States” (Davalos 60). Mexican American art institutions presented topics and other artwork that public museums did not…

They had some excellent arguments about the expectation of curators from museum audiences. Especially in regards to the simplification of museum content, which can be harmful to museum audiences and the argument in regards to curators holding a higher responsibility to the public c if the exhibit is a failure. But their unwillingness to listen to their peers’ opinion made them…

The W.M. Keck museum is Nevada’s second oldest museum. Founded in 1908, it has become a museum within a museum as many of the methods to display artifacts used in 1908 are still used today. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. A museum’s job is to allow for everyone to enjoy and to be inspired when they visit the museum. That is not an easy job as people experience museums differently and to be accommodating for everyone is difficult, especially for the Keck museum which is now constrained…

The San Jose Museum of Art mission states that it“reflects the diversity of cultures and innovative spirit of the silicone valley through exhibatition programs scholarships and collection”. I checked the validity of this statement by meandering through recent exhibits list on the art museums website. I came across multiple exhibits that showcased the diversity in the Silicone valley. Thre Photography and Inherited History of India, which showcased from beginning of Febuary to the beginning of…
