It is so petite in fact, that unless you were going out of your way to find this particular museum, you probably wouldn’t be able to see it at all.…

I attended the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. It was very interesting viewing all the different types of exhibits. At the museum, I felt a connection with the exhibit, European Art: Genre and Myth. The general theme of the exhibit is still life.

Museums as powerful institutions in the construction of identities in the public domain have long attracted the scholarly attention. Scholars, such as Carol Duncan, have abandoned the idea of the art museum being a neutral container for the disposal of art and recognized the verbal and visual methods employed in representation that leads to canonization through its establishment as a secular temple . The museum became the facilitator of modern ideological fiction . The ancient rhetoric, that…

Lake Jackson Historical Museum Located in the heart of Lake Jackson Is a “hidden gem” that every resident in the Brazoria County area should visit, at least once. The Lake Jackson Historical Museum is a great way to educate yourself on the rich history of Lake Jackson.

Like the fact that most of Lake Jackson sits on an old sugar…
