In my opinion, I think the artifacts, located in the Hall of Ancient Egypt should be return to its origin. This is not only considering as a personal view, but it is also an international debate. Even if these artifacts were stolen, which we do not know, they still need to be present in their country not in other places like America. They are part of the Egyptian’s background, including the people, culture, religion and so on. Imagine if someone comes to America and digging up George Washington,…

2015-06-22 – GD1S01A – PacManProject – Jeffrey Ka Shing Wong Pacman 1945 is an altered version of Pacman, it has a ghost system similar to the original of Pacman. It plays similar to the original Pacman but not exactly. With some slight changes and the new given name, Pacman 1945, it is trying to portray a different and better experienced game. What Pacman 1945 differs from Pacman are these features; gameplay, player movement, playing grounds, interface and artificial intelligence. The first…

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…

I visited the Tampa museum of art and discovered some very interesting and beautiful works of art. My favorite painting I came across was Lupins and Foxgloves on Indian Creek, Painted by Carolyn Brady in 1988. It was placed on the museum as a gift from the Bank of Tampa, in memory of Judith R Blanchard. It’s a watercolor painting on just plain paper. Depicting both land and sea shows how artists perceive and portray the natural world around them. From romantic depictions of the American…

as the direction of museum design did. Frank Gehry had handfuls of venues to be able to his credit his work. The Guggenheim Bilbao was in the blueprints of a special program directed by the Basque regional government. Bilbao served as a long-standing port and industrial center with the city entering a time of major economic decline during the late 1900s. This building/work of art had been urged to be constructed as to “make it better than Wright”, which the Guggenheim Museum in New York was…

Fresno Art Museum: An Exceptional Experience Upon visiting the Fresno Art Museum, I was pleasantly greeted with several local as well as world renowned paintings, sculptures, pottery, and murals. There were numerous exhibits dedicated to art, Latin American pottery, and even one fully devoted to Gary Soto, a Fresno native, whose children’s books were displayed in the museum along with paintings from the illustrations of his several acclaimed books. The overall environment was filled with great…

The first piece really inspired me because it had so much color and it had so much going on at the same time. It was almost like someone took a picture of a moving crowd. I saw plenty of things going on in that painting. Too much to describe in a short essay. But some of the things that I noticed were basic things that almost everyone saw. There was a snake that was eating a bird which is part of the cycle of course. Then I noticed that some of the animals were facing my direction as if looking…

The children's section in the museum is a noble collection of the effects on future generations due to armed conflict. Such people are usually denied the right to education and are separated from their families due to the actions of warring communities. In this way, exposing the people to these exhibits increases their sense of personal responsibility that aims at preventing vices such as bullying in schools and hate campaigns that are rampant in learning institutions. In addition, children are…

My museum trip at the Metropolitan started off with me visiting the Egypt Section first. My first stop in this section was to look for the “Ancient Models from the Tomb of Meketre.” Which I found in gallery 105. Most of the information I needed was on the wall. I found out that instead of them depicting their daily life in Egypt when they lived, but items that would sustain the deceased in the afterlife. I continued to walk and found the mummy of Kharushere which was located in gallery 126.…
