Using technology is essential for living in an industrialized society and I believe that there is no doubt that museums are using many different types of technology in their museum exhibits. During my museum visit at the Natural History Museum, I remember how several of the museum exhibits use video projectors, iPads or other touch devices and other forms of equipment as a way to create a new interactive experience…

The diversity of the human experience is stupendous and has been described, recorded, cataloged and represented by a number of anthropologists working in natural history museums. For many anthropologists, natural history museums provide an outlet for presenting their research, in which this institutionalized and multidimensional space acts as a nexus for the reconstruction and understanding of life in a variety of time periods across the global landscape. More specifically through the displays…

The importance of museums serve as a way to expand curiosity and open opportunities to experience new possibilities and explore the world around us.

University this fall and room with Penelope Smith. She has conducted multiple mastermind plans. She managed to steal an African princesses crown, sell it, convert the money into three different currencies, convert it back, and render it untraceable. She ghosted the stock market, which is illegal, and did quite a few other things. We need you to catch her doing something illegal, because we don’t have sufficient evidence to arrest her.” That was why Kate was attending Georgetown University with…

The role of Museum There are serval reasons that why people visit the museum. First, museums make people feels good.

The W.M. Keck museum is Nevada’s second oldest museum. Founded in 1908, it has become a museum within a museum as many of the methods to display artifacts used in 1908 are still used today.
