Museum ship

“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.…

When the word disease comes to mind, many often think about ones that currently affect our population, however, we fail to think about the ones that were prevalent in the past. By using paleopathology, the study of disease that caused a change in living organisms in ancient time (Ortner, 2011), we are capable of advancing our knowledge when it comes to many types of diseases. Diseases that overwhelmed ancient organisms are brought to our knowledge and expand our understanding of their position…

In 1816, the pieces were bought by the British Government, and to this day, sit in the British Museum for all to see. One common argument for keeping the sculptures in Britain is that the pieces should remain across the world so that all people could enjoy the art and appreciate its history. Forbes.com says that, "The British Museum claims that the removal of the objects saved them from destruction, as they were not being protected at the time." (Amineddoleh, Forbes)…

Not having much experience with art or in the art world, I was not sure what to expect from Bucknell University’s art gallery. When I first arrived, the place buzzing with life, mainly because of all of the Lycoming students, but still, there was a lot of action going on in the place. I saw some prints of Rembrandt, which they apparently just got in, but to be honest, I was not shook into awe, or head over heels for his art work, even though I understand his historical importance. Without…

The frieze, which used to be a vital component of the Parthenon's architecture, is known as the "Elgin Marbles" or the "Parthenon Marbles.” The marbles are the subject of a custody battle. Supporters of repatriation argue that the Parthenon Marbles are part of the fifth century Temple of Athena and thus can best be appreciated closer to their point of origin. Additionally, repatriation supporters assert that Greece has become experts at restoring other parts of the Parthenon whereas Britain's…

Both the Parthenon and the Pantheon are considered architectural marvels, and are world-reknowned for their resilience both structurally and in historical and artistic significance. As iconic as they are, they have served different places in their times, and while Greek culture heavily influenced Rome, and this can be seen in the resemblances these buildings bear, there are many clear distinctions as well. The Parthenon is a prime example both of Athenian primacy and piety. While it is…

But, I think Greece should give the British a compensation for the statues as a replacement for the British museum to satisfy the British and its visitors that go to the museum. The ideal placement for the Parthenon Marbles could be a sculpted replica of it. So that the visitors can marvel at it to get an idea of how it looks in reality. To certain extent it is understandable why the British…

Lord Elgin, ambassador to the Ottoman court of the Sultan in Istanbul (1801-1812) include the collection of sculptures, inscriptions and architectural features acquired from the British government by Lord Elgin in 1816 and now exposed in the British museum in Duveen Gallery (Room 18). Under Elgin’s instructions, the marbles were removed from the Acropolis (the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the Temple of Athena Nike) during his time as ambassador to the Ottoman court of the…

INTRODUCTION This particular task focuses in comparing and differentiating the style and function of the Pantheon and the Parthenon. As an introduction, in general, I wanted to gain an understanding go how architectural styles and the manner in which buildings’ characteristics and features are planned, designed, and constructed. Additionally, as I worked on this assignment I gained an understanding of role other elements of architectural style include play, such as the building materials,…
