Museums of American art

Representation in Museums In 1910, the art of the Native American culture began to be displayed in art museums. The first was an art museum in Brooklyn, which presented Native American culture’s works as serious art. The curator, Stuart Culin, selected one tribe to represent the entire region of North America. Objects exhibited in the museum were organized based on their function. Very descriptive labels, photographs, small-scale models, and others means were used to attempt to portray the environment in which this culture lived. In 1925, Culin established another gallery for American Indian collections. This gallery had many of the same aspects as the first; however, this one involved more world cultures. It included Asian and Eastern European cultures, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Each culture, Culin chose a color to match. Southwest had a pink background painted walls, while the color green was chosen for the Africa section. With the objects and cultures of the world matching with specific colors, this was an attempt for Culin to symbolize each…

come from a country where we don't have art museums at all. In fact, the people of my country do not give importance to art at all, although if you look at traditional clothes, houses it's full of art yet they do not notice that. This is my first Art class that I am taking so, I believe that I do see art a little bit different than those who had experience in the past. I see arts in many ways. When I used to say to my friends and family that even the pictures we are taking even that consider…

On the corner of 8th and F street lies the grand Smithsonian American Art museum, it stands three stories high with impeccable architecture inside and out, withholding some of the most antique and modern works of American art. For some locals, the most iconic places in Washington, D.C are the White House, the National Mall,or the United States Capitol. However, I myself, believe the most iconic place in Washington, D.C is the galleries within every Smithsonian museum. It was there in the…

MidTerm Cultural event for Child Development 17 My Husband I visited the Latin American Art Museum in Long Beach, California on Sunday, October 16,2016. We had never visited this museum before, and we had a good time. The building which houses the Latin American Art Museum had been many things prior to what its currently now, and with many re-models the inside still in a way reflects the past. The building dates from 1910 where it was originally Balboa studios which was the first Hollywood…

by Alice Walton and designed by Moshe Safdie, Crystal Bridges is located in Bentonville, Arkansas, and is one of the most well-known art museums around. The museum opened on November 11, 2011 and is still the country`s newest major art museum. Crystal Bridges has an extraordinary collection of artwork that can be compared to anything you would find in any well-known art museum`s. With a mix of contemporary and classic art it has a more modern feel than most museum`s and appeals to a wider…

Ethics is a much-debated issue in American society. Often people are led to question the decisions, actions, behaviors, and even the structure of a company or business at some point in time. After all, the constant stream of reports on corruption, greed, and bribery are headlines the public is all too familiar with. It sounds cynical, however, we live in a society where ethics plays an important role and is heavily weighted. Meaning companies and organizations, whether small or large; public or…

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…

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…
