Carnegie Art Museum My family and I went to the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh on November 25, 2017. We saw different art exhibits consisting of modern art pieces and traditional art pieces. The first art exhibit was called 20 20 and it focused on African American lives from different perspectives. The second art exhibit was more permanent and had a variety of art. This second exhibit was much bigger and didn’t focus on one particular idea. I found both interesting, but some pieces I wouldn’t…

After reading “Museum” by Naomi Nye, I think that the purpose of her essay is to convey the message that mistakes or embarrassing moments not only have an effect on you, but on the individuals around during the moment. To explain, “Museum” is about the author and her friend, who entered into the wrong house believing that it was the McNay Museum. It is not until the home owners bring it to the women’s attention that they are in the wrong place. During this embarrassing scene, the teenage…

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…

While art in general or attending art museums doesn’t really interest me, especially having to attend on my much needed day of rest from work and school. For my creative personal response paper, I chose to attend the Dallas Museum of Art this past Sunday. I came across numerous works of art. From paintings to sculptures, and drawings. Most of everything I came across in my opinion, were meaningless. Mostly because I could not decipher what the artist is portraying or the message behind it, while…

Visiting a museum has always been a top priority, since it not only house the ancient cultural history but also communicates in a symbolic manner to all age groups. Today the very concept of the museum has undergone a drastic transformation. Museums in contemporary times are not restricted to ancient people and history, but museum today comprise histories and impart stories of human beings. As a result there are different types of museums focusing on diverse issues such as eco-museums focus on…

For centuries museums have been seen as powerful cultural, educational, and financial institutions that uphold the morals and ethically obligations bestowed upon by their community and peers. For the most part they are, especially when things are going well and the museum’s budget is in the green, but issues with ethics tend to arise when museums fall in the red. When some museums find themselves in financial strains the try to fudge the lines within the rules they promised to follow or they…

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. I saw things about how black kids had…
