Baseball Hall Of Fame Museum Analysis
Museums are supposed to tell a story about something that has happened in history. They are expected to be factual and tell the whole story. The good,
the bad and the ugly are there – nothing left out. They do not pretend that an entire portion of history did not happen because it's "inconvenient" (Stark,
2015). The Baseball Hall of Fame museum also tells a story. The story of America's past time, the game's greatest accomplishments and all the times
records were shattered and barriers were broken. Why should one of the greatest players of all time, the "hit king", the player who has the most hits
ever recorded in Major League Baseball history be left out (Stark, 2015)? His story, the good, the bad and the ugly should be honored on the walls
in Cooperstown, Pennsylvania; home of Baseball's Hall of Fame. It is an integral part of the history of the game and it is time to stop pretending

Sports were so important in the Rose household that when he was not doing well in school, his dad discouraged summer school so he would not
miss a summer playing baseball. This not only allowed him to get an extra year of maturity over his peers but it ended up being one of the best
things that happened to him. Rose had used up his four years of eligibility in high school and therefore was forced to join a Class AA team in
Lebanon, Ohio his senior year of high school. Luckily, sports and the enthusiasm for them ran in Rose's family. His uncle was a scout for the
Cincinnati Reds and made a case for Pete Rose to join the Major League team out of high school. The Reds decided to take a chance, one they would
never soon regret, and Pete Rose joined the MLB right out of high school in

Since the late 1960's, Jack White's mixed media abstract work, defined as "abstract impressionism", has been inspired by African art forms and
symbolism. The works included in the Ancestral Image exhibition are outside the boundaries of traditional painting or sculpture. They contain elements
of the spiritual, the artistic, and the utilitarian that define African art. Reflecting on his work, White states, "Like most human beings I am curious
about my ancestors; as a black American, I can know only that they came from Africa. Art gives me the power to explore the lives of those ancestors
and expose audiences, minority and mainstream, to my discoveries."


While serving in the Air Force, White was both stimulated and inspired by the cultures he was exposed to during his world travels. White's global
experience manifests in much of his art, with paintings, that are a mixture of various media that construct abstracted visual landscapes.
White began his more than forty–year career in art as an art and education major at Morgan State University in Baltimore and later continued with

The Architectural Design and Significance of The New Art...
Architectural design
Architectural Design (AD) was first launched in 1930 in the UK as its architectural based journal. By then it was just a British scene which thereafter
spread and became international. Architecture has then taken great revolution from time to time. There are several Current Trends in Architectural
Designs which have taken place since its launch (Anderson, 2011).
Architecture is dependent on current trends. It was comparable with any other form of art, whether it is music, fashion design or painting. There is
great demand for the incorporation of the latest and greatest advances in architectural design into the modern structures. Many people would want their
structures to be at–per with the latest designs, but ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In architectural design, there are various stages a person should adopt while coming up with a world class structure. Building design is best understood
by being broken down into the following stages:
Programming or Site Analysis: before the commencement of any physical work being implemented, there is a need for the professionals and experts to
take a close look at the site of the project and make initial determinations. Programming phase helps the experts to communicate the parameters,
objectives, tasks and all work entailed to make the project go through successfully. At the end of it, a programming document will be produced,
articulating the plans for the project (Burden, 2000).
.
The adoption of Schematic Developer Design: it is in this phase individuals think of when they imagine architectural design. There is a preparation of
intricate sketches of every aspect of the building floor plan and design by experts. Preliminary sketches are made and developed into a detailed floor
plan, elevations, and eventually 3–dimensional images of an almost, real life design. These phases created should be approved by the client in order to
ensure project effectiveness and success (Burden, 2000).

The Museum Of Natural History
Museums are information organizations, that is, they are about giving the most up–to–date information to their patrons. No matter how well their
organization, commercially, is wrap it up that part of them remains the same. From the two museums that I visited, the Henry Ford Museum and the
Museum of Natural History, are clearly about passing information to the patron. There are differences between them, however, it is the equivalences
that I want to focus on as they are what bind them. The three areas of focus are community, academic outreach, and the stories they share. Creating a
strong and vibrant community is important to museums. Dr. Ronquillo, a leader a Philippine Archeologymuseum, so elegantly wrote, "A properly
planned community museum can express and elucidate the community 's cultural wealth through the appropriate presentation and exhibition of their
important natural and cultural heritage" (Ronquillo, 1992). It is the community that keeps generation after generation coming back to see the history
that us humans, the earth, and beyond have gone through. The journey of information, for most, begins as a child during our time at school. For the
Museum of Natural History, this is quite literal as the museum is a part of the University of Michigan culture. They have the mascot, the wolverine,

Reflection Paper
When I was growing up, my father tried his best to teach me the story of my people and our struggle. As a child, I did not believe that things were
as bad as he said they were. I felt that the stories he told me were just that, stories of a bygone era. After all, I had plenty of friends of many different
races, and never felt the sting of prejudice. As I have grown, I have learned that the stories that he told me were indeed true, and have shaped me into
the person I am today.
During the summer of 2016, I was blessed to serve as a Conservation Intern at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. It was there
that I found a connection to myself that I had ignored for years. As I wandered through the exhibits, I realized that my history,African American
history, along with countless others, was absent from many of the stories being presented. I spoke with my mentor about this issue. As we spoke, he
told me about the shortage of African American males in the museum field, and how hard it was to find people like myself. At that moment, I knew that
museums were where I felt I could implement the most change. The Smithsonian also gave me hands–on experience in the field of conservation. As an
intern, I conducted research to determine information about a variety of pieces, ranging from a ceramic figurine to a framed collection of presidential
hair. I utilized common conservation techniques such as color matching and object analysis, and used an X–Ray Florescence

Analysis: The Mint Museum At Randolph
The Mint Museum at Randolph is located in Charlotte's Eastover neighborhood. It was once part of the United States Treasury Department: a mint. In
1936 it became the state's first art museum. It houses a collection of cozy galleries to display everything from textiles, pottery, ceramics, glass and
decorative arts. The exhibit I viewed showcased works from three generations of artists: Newell Convers Wyeth (patriarch), Andrew Wyeth (son) and
Jamie Wyeth (grandson).
'Harbor Monhegan' was created in 1998 on Monhegan Island in Maine by Jamie Wyeth. It is an oilpainting on canvas, rich in texture and color. Wyeth's

Analysis Of Steven LubarВґs Inside The Lost Museum
In Steven Lubar's book, Inside the Lost Museum: Curating, Past and Present, the recurring idea that museums are "more than the sum of their parts"
plays a critical role in the overall argument (329). Lubar notes many aspects that make up a museum, the collection, for example is an essential part of
any museum, but the community, as well as the experiences of the patrons create a lasting museum experience. Additionally, Lubar aptly utilizes
real–world examples, contemporary and historical, highlighting the work of individuals in museums and establishing a connection between past and
current events. Central to this narrative is the example of the lost Jenks Museum. Lubar uses this museum to argue that museums of the past can
educate museum goers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Lubar states that "large museums have so much in storage; why not transfer some of those collections to smaller museums, where they would be
eagerly put on display? Even more radical why not sell some and use the proceeds to fund the work that museums should be doing" (146). Initially, this
idea does seem radical. Large metropolitan museums giving their collections away is not something that is often done. Lubar explains that "there are
more than a billion objects in American museum collections" (4). This number is so vast that is impossible to reasonably conceive. Because of this,
there can only so many artifacts that are on display at once thus leaving countless others stuck in storage never seeing the light of day. Smaller
museums that do not have the budget to collect could potentially benefit from larger museums deaccessioning items.
In the end, Lubar concedes that this idea "probably goes too far" (146). In reality, it would not be as easy as it sounds and it would not be an easy
solution to museum storage issues. However, in the book's closing Lubar draws on the example of Robert Fontenot's show Recycle LACMA (2009),
which repurposed items that the museum had deaccessioned and gave them new life (325). This example proves that it is possible for museums to
clear out their storage and at the same time be apart of creating something

The audience is inclined to take in GreenН›s practice at large rather than gaining a deeper insight into each pieceН›s individual context (George, 2015,
p. 39). Both curators convey their intentions through the connections linking artist, content and context. This revised insight into the artistsН› practice
is transformed due to the associations drawn by the curator and presented to the viewer through the exhibition rationale. The correlation between both

However, the works acquired were still exclusively under the strict rule of the Academy, operated by the state. The rise of progressive artists
advocating advanced art, pioneered by the likes of Courbet, Manet and others caused a re–evaluation in the system of these principles. The coming of
the avant–garde together with the increased commercialisation of art set in motion an increased tension with the established institutions. Eventually
this culminated in the formation of autonomous exhibition spaces where artists displayed their works separately from the Academy. This tradition
began with the Salon des RefusГ©s in 1863 and extended to establish a parallel to that which would have been traditionally the role of the state
museums as the academy continued to turn away from progressive art practices. Although some of the contemporary works were acquired by the state,
it was not until 1896 that the Luxembourg agreed to exhibits works of the impressionists, and it would be even later when state run institutions would
acknowledge the full extent of the modern art tradition.

Artifact Argumentative Essay
Argumentative essay Artifacts that are found in a country should stay in that country so it don't get lost or broken. I think that if the artifact is in the
museum then it needs to stay in one place so the object doesn't get tossed around and gets broken. If the artifact breaks then that is a part of history that
is gone forever and it will not be here for us to learn about. I feel like if the artifact was found in a certain country then it needs to be stored in its own
countries' museums.

Essay On Cultural Encounter Museum
For my Cultural Encounter Project, I had the pleasure of visiting The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida. The museum was
founded in 1958 by Ninah Cummer, who had a very nice art collection in her home. The Cummer Museum is built on the site of Arthur and Ninah
Cummer's home and is considered the largest fine arts museum in northeast Florida.
The museum has a permanent collection of more than 5,000 objects from various points in history, and the historic gardens have many statues and

Outside the Jacobsen Gallery which features the LIFT exhibition, are photos of a sculpture called The Harp created by August Savage (a native of
Green Cove Springs, Florida) in 1939 for the New York World's Fair. Approximately 16 feet tall, Savage's sculpture, titled The Harp, was strongly
influenced by James Weldon Johnson's song, Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing.
The personified instrument, using twelve African American youth singers in various heights symbolized the strings of the harp. The hand of God
formed the sounding board, and the foot pedal was represented by a kneeling man holding music. The sculpture was celebrated as one of Savage's
major works; however, with a lack of finances to cast it into bronze, the sculpture was destroyed at the end of the Fair.
Despite the fact that The Harp does not exist in its final form, its legacy continues through numerous photographs and souvenir reproductions. I was

The Museum Of London : An Era Of Fast Paced Social...
Introduction
In an era of fast–paced social transformations, museums as social institutions are faced with more challenges than ever before. New cultural policy,
economic pattern shift, technological innovation and other factors are all putting the pressure on. Management therefore becomes extremely vital to
museums as to all industries, and at the core of it lies the issue of forward planning. Forward planning, of which Stuart Davies has made a definition
(1996,7), is a process that can guide museums through the difficult times, producing better services and greater efficiency. As the product of this
process, a forward plan then should be able to help museums in sticking to their set goals, monitoring the fulfillment of schedule and continuing with
strategic thinking. However, having a written document does not necessarily guarantee museums a secure future. Though there are no rules that must
be complied with in the composition, there are indeed standards relating to the nature of museum management involved and in need of appropriate
address.
This report takes the example of the Museum of London, examining its 2013–2018 forward plan from both strengths and drawbacks with reference to
specific statements. Hopefully, some useful suggestions could be offered through the analysis to guide the museum in updating their plan for the two
years ahead and achieving expected outcomes by the end.

San Carlos Warehouse Observation Report
I decided to do the volunteer work at the San Carlos warehouse of the Museum of American Heritage (MOAH). I went there for 3 days to complete
the project. On the first day, Jim gave a brief introduction about the warehouse and the types of work they do there. I was surprised when Jim explained
that the warehouse is mostly run by volunteers. Then, he introduced me about the main process they did at the warehouse. One of the main tasks is to
determine what to do with the artifacts received through various means such as from donations, buying and other methods. As the storage space is

Stolen Art of the Holocaust
While death was the major tragedy of the Holocaust, all of the art stolen was definitely a dark spot. Most people don't realize, but the art was taken
from all Jews and many others by the Nazis. Some pieces of art have been found, but most still remain lost. Many that have been discovered are in
museums and are not given to the true owners. There should be efforts spent on finding and recovering the art stolen by the Nazis to return it to their
rightful owners. Hitler would have his soldiers take the art from the homes where the Jews lived when they took them away. Sometimes, if he wanted
a specific work of art, he would have his people steal it or take it and kill the people who owned it. He would have his men steal all of the art and
other artifacts from the homes of every person they took to the concentration camps, as well as those they simply killed in their homes. Taking the art
was his way of taking everything from them, and a way that he could show his superiority over them. He took it because it was something they had
that he wanted. Very few works of art taken by Hitler have been found, and many that are discovered reside in museums. Some have been discovered in
museums or galleries in Austria, while thousands still remain lost. Recently, "a long–lost Monet and other art treasures stolen from Jews during the
Holocaust have been discovered in the home of an 81–year–old German art collector," Julian states (Julian). Cornelius Gurlitt, the art

Art Galleries And Art Museums
An institution with the purpose of preserving, protecting and publically displaying collections ranging from various paintings to different artefacts are
museums. Their historical development also led to intellectual evolution and divergence of the public thought on objects that are placed inside.
Today we question the values of seeing those objects; for an example, museum sceptics undermine the value of museums and collections. Nevertheless,
there are several main points that argue against the beliefs of "museum sceptics" and they propose that when seeing objects in a museum we gain value
of praising and preserving the past, preserving cultural heritage and acquire an educational value.
Art galleries and museums are nowadays indispensable institutions mainly in important cities around the world. The Metropolis provides the perfect
social and political environment to develop the civic ritual founded by Art Museums and its now rooted tradition. (Duncan, 1995, p.21) However,
predominant thought that questions seeing objects in a museum is proposed by the "museum sceptics". According to Carrier, museum sceptics state
that art in museums does not survive, meaning it loses its power. Museums de facto fail to preserve the art constituted in old objects that are collected.
This belief also rejects 'time travel' in museums since they argue that it is only an illusion. (Carrier, 2006, pp. 50–51) This is a rather philosophical
approach, but it strongly rejects the claim that old

Corporations That Influence Public Art Museum
Corporations and Their Influence in Support for Public Art Museums
Statement of Intent Historically, museums have relied on four sources of financial support: individual contributions, corporate and foundation support,
earned revenues, and government grants. This paper focuses on present day corporate support for art and the museums that collect and display that art.
It urges museums to reassess their assumptions about corporations and suggests ways that museums can develop new approaches to align their
solicitation of support with changing corporate objectives.

Thus arts organizations must act to align their needs with the evolving requirements of corporate benefactors if lasting partnerships are to be formed.
Museums must position their brand to corporations as places of value, enhancement and richness to local communities. Corporations need to reevaluate
museums as a pillar for support on par with any other social cause, with value for society at large. With better understanding of the overlap of
objectives both corporations and arts organizations share, public museums can offer creative, outside–the–box thinking in seeking corporate support.
Museum development professionals can better understand the value to not only maintain existing resources, but ways to seek new partners through
innovative corporate engagement by aligning museum programming and values with the increasingly social and environmental causes corporations
have come to identify. By observing trends in federal and corporate funding for the arts and funding shifts, this capstone will explore why corporations
who currently support public art do so through funding and art collections, and their increasing needs for employee engagement. Understanding the

In order to compose this assignment, I visited the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum (CAM). The USF Contemporary Art
Museum is a compact museum on campus located near the Dance buildings and the Theatres. The museum opened its establishment in 1989 and has
offered a wide range of art from around the world including the United States, Africa, Europe, and Latin America (usfcam.usf.edu). In order to keep
students engaged in the art, the museum changes its exhibits a couple times a year. Currently, the exhibition on display is entitled Extracted and
incorporates "the extraction and circulation of natural resources around the globe" (Megan Voeller). Despite the museum being not large in size, I was
able to attain a sense of nature through photographs, sculptures, video messages, and banners produced from artists including Otobang Nkanga, Marina
Zurkow, Claire Pentecost, Mary Mattingly and Daniel Shiffman. The social angle most strongly related to the exhibit on display at this time is nature
and culture. Extracted was motivated by relationships between humans and the environment referring to "complex technical processes behind oil
drilling and mining or industrial agriculture" (Megan Voeller). Most of the artists focus their work on nature including the environment, ecosystems,
and life itself. One artists in particular whose work stood out to me was Claire Pentecost with her work Soil–erg. This distinct exposition was located

The ducks left the pond. This symbolizes exactly where Holden is in his life right now. He left his childhood, and is now a part of the adult world.
He desperately wishes that he was like the fish in the pond. He wish he can "just stay there," and be an innocent child forever. Finally, another key
symbol in the novel is The Museum of Natural History. It symbolizes a perfect and pristine world that Holden desires to live in. Holden enjoys
museums because they are unchanging. In a museum, everything is so peaceful and simple, an ideal place to live for Holden Caulfield. One of his
biggest fears and challenges is change. For example, this is the reason why he is so scared and terrified to call Jane Gallagher, a girl who he finds
very attractive and is one of the few people that Holden actually admires. He is afraid that if he calls her, she would be a changed person, and that is
the last thing he wants...change. This symbol shows the main purpose of the novel, too. Holden is so afraid of surrendering to the life of an adult that
he has such a difficult time figuring out reality. However, sometimes he shows his change into maturity by getting drunk and lusting for sex.The
Museum of Natural History represents innocence and purity in the novel. Like the museum, Holden does not want to change. He wants to be just like

Reflection On The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum
I have attended the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of Arts for my cultural event essay, on Wednesday November 18, 2015. Attending this
museum is considered a cultural event since it provides you with the opportunity to learn about the different styles of artworks of different time
periods. This museum contained many works that are influenced by classicism which is a style of "historical tradition or aesthetic attitudes based
on the art of Greece and Rome" ("Classicism and Neoclassicism"). One particular piece of art that drew upon my attention was the leaded glass
window of the Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn created by Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist and designer of the 19th century ("The
Charles Hosmer"). The window was created based upon the original painting of the Aurora by Will H. Low, a muralist designer for Tiffany
("Biography"). The Aurora is influenced by the roots of western civilization by visual characteristics such as her contrapposto stance. I believe that this
art is trying to communicate how Aurora is preparing to renew herself in the water to carry out her duties as a goddess.... Show more content on

Tiffany used a technique known as plating, which is placing pieces of glass on top of one another to create the effects of light and shade (The
Charles Hosmer). The name Aurora in Latin translates to "morning" (Took) so I assumed that the window is layered with glass to allow a certain
amount of light to appear through thus allowing the concept of early morning to be displayed in the artwork. Roman mythology also states that her

(Stam 1993). One way this may be interpreted is that a shift towards a more open, interactive style of museum exhibition should be the starting point of
exhibition planning and execution.
The discussions and in some cases successful installations of eco museums for example, represent the ever shifting and changing people and cultures,
instead of the static and non–changed ancient cultural heritage of forgotten civilizations and their material culture. The eco museum provides no
exclusion of peoples or histories. With some limited success in exposing the cultures of ever changing people and customs to a larger audience in
eco–museums, other historical institutions have frankly missed the mark. "The 'new museology' started with the intention of introducing a new
philosophy around how museums function and a changed relationships between museums and their societies and communities" (McCall and Gray
2014).
The framework suggested in the museology based on how a new function of museums can be achieved, really leaves one to ponder just how effective
the application of literature surrounding these ideas can actually be when put into practice. There is no clear checklist of steps to achieve such a

The Ethical Issues That Plague The Art World
What is visual art? Visual art refers to the expression of creativity through mixed media, installation art, paintings, and sculptures. Visual art is an
important component of humanity because it evokes an emotional response from its viewers. An artist may be a child, a street bomber or me. A true
artist has the ability to create and evoke an emotional connection with an individual or a group through a piece of art.
Visual art involves a range of interpersonal and societal perceptions that broadens our experience and understanding of the world in which we live. Art
also bridges the gap between cultural beliefs, practices and religion, and allows us to see ourselves, as well as, our community through a different lens.
It enables us to imagine the unimaginable.
However, the art community and its stakeholders need to consider the ethical issues that plague the art world. Ethics are the principles that guide an
individual's choice, while; ethical practices are rights and obligations that lead to the best possible outcome. In the art world ethics is based on
accountability and trust. Therefore, I will take a glimpse at three categories, and expose the ethical issues from each category and describe the
stakeholders' dilemma. I will examine the cause and effects of communal responses toward art museums, public display of art, and art dealers and

Baseball Hall Of Fame Museum Analysis

  • 1. Baseball Hall Of Fame Museum Analysis Museums are supposed to tell a story about something that has happened in history. They are expected to be factual and tell the whole story. The good, the bad and the ugly are there – nothing left out. They do not pretend that an entire portion of history did not happen because it's "inconvenient" (Stark, 2015). The Baseball Hall of Fame museum also tells a story. The story of America's past time, the game's greatest accomplishments and all the times records were shattered and barriers were broken. Why should one of the greatest players of all time, the "hit king", the player who has the most hits ever recorded in Major League Baseball history be left out (Stark, 2015)? His story, the good, the bad and the ugly should be honored on the walls in Cooperstown, Pennsylvania; home of Baseball's Hall of Fame. It is an integral part of the history of the game and it is time to stop pretending Peter Edward Rose was not one of the greatest baseball players of all time. ...

Sports were so important in the Rose household that when he was not doing well in school, his dad discouraged summer school so he would not miss a summer playing baseball. This not only allowed him to get an extra year of maturity over his peers but it ended up being one of the best things that happened to him. Rose had used up his four years of eligibility in high school and therefore was forced to join a Class AA team in Lebanon, Ohio his senior year of high school. Luckily, sports and the enthusiasm for them ran in Rose's family. His uncle was a scout for the Cincinnati Reds and made a case for Pete Rose to join the Major League team out of high school. The Reds decided to take a chance, one they would never soon regret, and Pete Rose joined the MLB right out of high school in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Both exhibits are free, open to the public and will be on view September 13th – December 13th, 2008. Celebrating Herb Williams: His Life, His Work, and His Art– As Community Folk Art Center's founding Director, Herb Williams (1938 –1999) devoted his life to promoting the work of diverse artists and ensuring ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Since the late 1960's, Jack White's mixed media abstract work, defined as "abstract impressionism", has been inspired by African art forms and symbolism. The works included in the Ancestral Image exhibition are outside the boundaries of traditional painting or sculpture. They contain elements of the spiritual, the artistic, and the utilitarian that define African art. Reflecting on his work, White states, "Like most human beings I am curious about my ancestors; as a black American, I can know only that they came from Africa. Art gives me the power to explore the lives of those ancestors and expose audiences, minority and mainstream, to my discoveries."

 While serving in the Air Force, White was both stimulated and inspired by the cultures he was exposed to during his world travels. White's global experience manifests in much of his art, with paintings, that are a mixture of various media that construct abstracted visual landscapes. White began his more than forty–year career in art as an art and education major at Morgan State University in Baltimore and later continued with graduate studies in Museum Arts at Syracuse University in Upstate New ...

  • 3. The Architectural Design and Significance of The New Art... Architectural design Architectural Design (AD) was first launched in 1930 in the UK as its architectural based journal. By then it was just a British scene which thereafter spread and became international. Architecture has then taken great revolution from time to time. There are several Current Trends in Architectural Designs which have taken place since its launch (Anderson, 2011). Architecture is dependent on current trends. It was comparable with any other form of art, whether it is music, fashion design or painting. There is great demand for the incorporation of the latest and greatest advances in architectural design into the modern structures. Many people would want their structures to be at–per with the latest designs, but ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In architectural design, there are various stages a person should adopt while coming up with a world class structure. Building design is best understood by being broken down into the following stages: Programming or Site Analysis: before the commencement of any physical work being implemented, there is a need for the professionals and experts to take a close look at the site of the project and make initial determinations. Programming phase helps the experts to communicate the parameters, objectives, tasks and all work entailed to make the project go through successfully. At the end of it, a programming document will be produced, articulating the plans for the project (Burden, 2000). . The adoption of Schematic Developer Design: it is in this phase individuals think of when they imagine architectural design. There is a preparation of intricate sketches of every aspect of the building floor plan and design by experts. Preliminary sketches are made and developed into a detailed floor plan, elevations, and eventually 3–dimensional images of an almost, real life design. These phases created should be approved by the client in order to ensure project effectiveness and success (Burden, 2000). .

  • 4. The Museum Of Natural History Museums are information organizations, that is, they are about giving the most up–to–date information to their patrons. No matter how well their organization, commercially, is wrap it up that part of them remains the same. From the two museums that I visited, the Henry Ford Museum and the Museum of Natural History, are clearly about passing information to the patron. There are differences between them, however, it is the equivalences that I want to focus on as they are what bind them. The three areas of focus are community, academic outreach, and the stories they share. Creating a strong and vibrant community is important to museums. Dr. Ronquillo, a leader a Philippine Archeologymuseum, so elegantly wrote, "A properly planned community museum can express and elucidate the community 's cultural wealth through the appropriate presentation and exhibition of their important natural and cultural heritage" (Ronquillo, 1992). It is the community that keeps generation after generation coming back to see the history that us humans, the earth, and beyond have gone through. The journey of information, for most, begins as a child during our time at school. For the Museum of Natural History, this is quite literal as the museum is a part of the University of Michigan culture. They have the mascot, the wolverine, College students are going in and out of there through the day. Most are heading to class or doing work–study, but a community is still present.

  • 5. Reflection Paper When I was growing up, my father tried his best to teach me the story of my people and our struggle. As a child, I did not believe that things were as bad as he said they were. I felt that the stories he told me were just that, stories of a bygone era. After all, I had plenty of friends of many different races, and never felt the sting of prejudice. As I have grown, I have learned that the stories that he told me were indeed true, and have shaped me into the person I am today. During the summer of 2016, I was blessed to serve as a Conservation Intern at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. It was there that I found a connection to myself that I had ignored for years. As I wandered through the exhibits, I realized that my history,African American history, along with countless others, was absent from many of the stories being presented. I spoke with my mentor about this issue. As we spoke, he told me about the shortage of African American males in the museum field, and how hard it was to find people like myself. At that moment, I knew that museums were where I felt I could implement the most change. The Smithsonian also gave me hands–on experience in the field of conservation. As an intern, I conducted research to determine information about a variety of pieces, ranging from a ceramic figurine to a framed collection of presidential hair. I utilized common conservation techniques such as color matching and object analysis, and used an X–Ray Florescence ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Analysis: The Mint Museum At Randolph The Mint Museum at Randolph is located in Charlotte's Eastover neighborhood. It was once part of the United States Treasury Department: a mint. In 1936 it became the state's first art museum. It houses a collection of cozy galleries to display everything from textiles, pottery, ceramics, glass and decorative arts. The exhibit I viewed showcased works from three generations of artists: Newell Convers Wyeth (patriarch), Andrew Wyeth (son) and Jamie Wyeth (grandson). 'Harbor Monhegan' was created in 1998 on Monhegan Island in Maine by Jamie Wyeth. It is an oilpainting on canvas, rich in texture and color. Wyeth's use of space it defined by the foreground, middleground and background. The piece has movement depicted throughout; It looks almost chaotic, movement is present in the flames, smoke, waves, and seagulls bringing the piece together. ...

  • 7. Analysis Of Steven LubarВґs Inside The Lost Museum In Steven Lubar's book, Inside the Lost Museum: Curating, Past and Present, the recurring idea that museums are "more than the sum of their parts" plays a critical role in the overall argument (329). Lubar notes many aspects that make up a museum, the collection, for example is an essential part of any museum, but the community, as well as the experiences of the patrons create a lasting museum experience. Additionally, Lubar aptly utilizes real–world examples, contemporary and historical, highlighting the work of individuals in museums and establishing a connection between past and current events. Central to this narrative is the example of the lost Jenks Museum. Lubar uses this museum to argue that museums of the past can educate museum goers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Lubar states that "large museums have so much in storage; why not transfer some of those collections to smaller museums, where they would be eagerly put on display? Even more radical why not sell some and use the proceeds to fund the work that museums should be doing" (146). Initially, this idea does seem radical. Large metropolitan museums giving their collections away is not something that is often done. Lubar explains that "there are more than a billion objects in American museum collections" (4). This number is so vast that is impossible to reasonably conceive. Because of this, there can only so many artifacts that are on display at once thus leaving countless others stuck in storage never seeing the light of day. Smaller museums that do not have the budget to collect could potentially benefit from larger museums deaccessioning items. In the end, Lubar concedes that this idea "probably goes too far" (146). In reality, it would not be as easy as it sounds and it would not be an easy solution to museum storage issues. However, in the book's closing Lubar draws on the example of Robert Fontenot's show Recycle LACMA (2009), which repurposed items that the museum had deaccessioned and gave them new life (325). This example proves that it is possible for museums to clear out their storage and at the same time be apart of creating something ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Art Analysis: Less Than Art Less Than: Art and reductionism and Denise Green: Beyond and Between – A painter's journey. A comparative Essay written by Thomas Brooks, Benjamin Dutton, Jasmine Smith and Megan Thomason. Collection displays inhibit the ideologies of a singular conceptual premise under the constraints of the viability and range within the institutions collection, whereas the tasks involved in composing a monographic show, including the original parameters of an institutionН›s collection, result in further curatorial concerns (George 2015, 39). How does the curatorial rationale and exhibition design influence the artworks displayed within a collection based exhibition? This essay will critically ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The audience is inclined to take in GreenН›s practice at large rather than gaining a deeper insight into each pieceН›s individual context (George, 2015, p. 39). Both curators convey their intentions through the connections linking artist, content and context. This revised insight into the artistsН› practice is transformed due to the associations drawn by the curator and presented to the viewer through the exhibition rationale. The correlation between both showcasesН› intended premise combined with the curatorsН›selected pieces, assist the viewer in engaging with the artworks in a reinterpreted manner from their original context. Due to the extensive assortment of practices incorporated in Less Than: Art and Reductionism, the artistsН› intended meaning is adapted to fulfil the premise of the exhibition. This is evident in Daniel McKewenН›s Kafka On the Shore (2014) which explores capitalism through the use of a financial algorithm depicted in the form of three over–sized gypsum and acrylic polymer letter–forms mounted to the wall (QUT 2016). The conceptual premise of the work is hidden from the viewer once placed within the context of the rationale, reductionism.

  • 10. Art Museum Vs. Private Museum Museum Comparison This paper compares four separate museums. The first two compared, are private art museums in the United States, compared to a private art museum in another country. Secondly, a university natural history museum is compared to another university natural history museum in a foreign country. The comparisons involve taking a closer look at the history, function, staffing, and programs at museums. Many reasons can lead collectors to starting a private museum. Whether collectors feel that a collection can serve an educational function, or perhaps to keep control over the collection, a private museum is an option that provides the public access to their work (Traditional Fine Arts Organization).

This museum is the Rubell Collection's main mission and function is to share their vast collection of contemporary art and support emerging artists. They have an active internship program, lecture series, and a partnership with Miami–Dade county schools to support education (The Rubell Collection). The museum also houses a research library with over forty–thousand volumes and a bookstore (The Rubell Collection). In order to share their expansive collections, the Rubells also lend their exhibits to other museums all over the world (Solway 2014). Taking a look at a private art museum in another country, The Pinacotheque in Paris is presented. The Pinacotheque is Paris's first private art museum and was established in 2007. Pinacotheque loosely translates into the image box (Restellini 2011). The Pinacotheque displays art like the Rubell Collection, but they are not displaying art from one collector, but many collectors.

Discuss the challenges that advanced artistic practice presented for museums in the late 19th and early 20th century. The period of the second half of the 19th and the beginnings of the 20th century saw some of the most extensive transformations in the art market and the institution of the art museum in history. With the rise of the avant–garde and new artistic practices, the traditional enlightenment didactic vision of the museum was put under threat.

However, the works acquired were still exclusively under the strict rule of the Academy, operated by the state. The rise of progressive artists advocating advanced art, pioneered by the likes of Courbet, Manet and others caused a re–evaluation in the system of these principles. The coming of the avant–garde together with the increased commercialisation of art set in motion an increased tension with the established institutions. Eventually this culminated in the formation of autonomous exhibition spaces where artists displayed their works separately from the Academy. This tradition began with the Salon des RefusГ©s in 1863 and extended to establish a parallel to that which would have been traditionally the role of the state museums as the academy continued to turn away from progressive art practices. Although some of the contemporary works were acquired by the state, it was not until 1896 that the Luxembourg agreed to exhibits works of the impressionists, and it would be even later when state run institutions would acknowledge the full extent of the modern art tradition. In the span of the last decades of the 19th century, art in Europe began to focus itself on new developments in artistic practice. Exhibitions such as the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The personified instrument, using twelve African American youth singers in various heights symbolized the strings of the harp.

Introduction In an era of fast–paced social transformations, museums as social institutions are faced with more challenges than ever before. New cultural policy, economic pattern shift, technological innovation and other factors are all putting the pressure on. Management therefore becomes extremely vital to museums as to all industries, and at the core of it lies the issue of forward planning. Forward planning, of which Stuart Davies has made a definition (1996,7), is a process that can guide museums through the difficult times, producing better services and greater efficiency. As the product of this process, a forward plan then should be able to help museums in sticking to their set goals, monitoring the fulfillment of schedule and continuing with strategic thinking. However, having a written document does not necessarily guarantee museums a secure future. Though there are no rules that must be complied with in the composition, there are indeed standards relating to the nature of museum management involved and in need of appropriate address. This report takes the example of the Museum of London, examining its 2013–2018 forward plan from both strengths and drawbacks with reference to specific statements. Hopefully, some useful suggestions could be offered through the analysis to guide the museum in updating their plan for the two years ahead and achieving expected outcomes by the end.

Most people don't realize, but the art was taken from all Jews and many others by the Nazis. Some pieces of art have been found, but most still remain lost. Many that have been discovered are in museums and are not given to the true owners. There should be efforts spent on finding and recovering the art stolen by the Nazis to return it to their rightful owners. Hitler would have his soldiers take the art from the homes where the Jews lived when they took them away. Sometimes, if he wanted a specific work of art, he would have his people steal it or take it and kill the people who owned it. He would have his men steal all of the art and other artifacts from the homes of every person they took to the concentration camps, as well as those they simply killed in their homes. Taking the art was his way of taking everything from them, and a way that he could show his superiority over them. He took it because it was something they had that he wanted. Very few works of art taken by Hitler have been found, and many that are discovered reside in museums. Some have been discovered in museums or galleries in Austria, while thousands still remain lost.

  • 26. Art Galleries And Art Museums An institution with the purpose of preserving, protecting and publically displaying collections ranging from various paintings to different artefacts are museums. Their historical development also led to intellectual evolution and divergence of the public thought on objects that are placed inside. Today we question the values of seeing those objects; for an example, museum sceptics undermine the value of museums and collections. Nevertheless, there are several main points that argue against the beliefs of "museum sceptics" and they propose that when seeing objects in a museum we gain value of praising and preserving the past, preserving cultural heritage and acquire an educational value. Art galleries and museums are nowadays indispensable institutions mainly in important cities around the world. The Metropolis provides the perfect social and political environment to develop the civic ritual founded by Art Museums and its now rooted tradition. (Duncan, 1995, p.21) However, predominant thought that questions seeing objects in a museum is proposed by the "museum sceptics". According to Carrier, museum sceptics state that art in museums does not survive, meaning it loses its power. Museums de facto fail to preserve the art constituted in old objects that are collected. This belief also rejects 'time travel' in museums since they argue that it is only an illusion.

Museums must position their brand to corporations as places of value, enhancement and richness to local communities.

With better understanding of the overlap of objectives both corporations and arts organizations share, public museums can offer creative, outside–the–box thinking in seeking corporate support. Museum development professionals can better understand the value to not only maintain existing resources, but ways to seek new partners through innovative corporate engagement by aligning museum programming and values with the increasingly social and environmental causes corporations have come to identify.

This museum contained many works that are influenced by classicism which is a style of "historical tradition or aesthetic attitudes based on the art of Greece and Rome" ("Classicism and Neoclassicism"). One particular piece of art that drew upon my attention was the leaded glass window of the Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn created by Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist and designer of the 19th century ("The Charles Hosmer"). The window was created based upon the original painting of the Aurora by Will H. Low, a muralist designer for Tiffany ("Biography").

  • 38. Cultural Relevance, Understanding And Education Cultural relevance, understanding and education are the key areas that modern museums seem to be addressing seriously.

Some would argue that art, is an expression of a culture and its political and economic values (Hein 2006), while others would suggest that is the artifacts of long lost peoples and cultures that have the most worth to the public (Sabeti 2015).

The eco museum provides no exclusion of peoples or histories. With some limited success in exposing the cultures of ever changing people and customs to a larger audience in eco–museums, other historical institutions have frankly missed the mark.

The framework suggested in the museology based on how a new function of museums can be achieved, really leaves one to ponder just how effective the application of literature surrounding these ideas can actually be when put into practice.

  • 39. The Ethical Issues That Plague The Art World What is visual art? Visual art refers to the expression of creativity through mixed media, installation art, paintings, and sculptures. Visual art is an important component of humanity because it evokes an emotional response from its viewers. An artist may be a child, a street bomber or me. A true artist has the ability to create and evoke an emotional connection with an individual or a group through a piece of art. Visual art involves a range of interpersonal and societal perceptions that broadens our experience and understanding of the world in which we live. Art also bridges the gap between cultural beliefs, practices and religion, and allows us to see ourselves, as well as, our community through a different lens. It enables us to imagine the unimaginable. However, the art community and its stakeholders need to consider the ethical issues that plague the art world. Ethics are the principles that guide an individual's choice, while; ethical practices are rights and obligations that lead to the best possible outcome. In the art world ethics is based on accountability and trust.
