My visit to the Tampa Museum of Art took place on the 4th of February 2017. The Tampa Museum of Art is situated in the hub of downtown Tampa and contained some of the most widely publicly innovative works of art in the United States. I had never been to a museum, prior to my visit at the Tampa Museum of Art. My visit to the Tampa museum was very informative and a rare occasion to learn about the beauty of art was completely clueless about museums and didn't know what to make of them. I read about the museum online and discovered that it was among the top five museums in the U.S because of its urban multi cultural population. I was anxious in the beginning not knowing what to expect because I didn’t know where to start, but after I got helped …show more content…
There were lot of painting and photos shoot that kept visitors at the museum focus through out their visit. But above all, the was a focus based on the digital aspect of the museum experience. I also noticed that people were very watchful of other people as they walk through the museum to take signals on what to do next. The museum is an interactive tool for learning about cultures. This form of interaction and the digital aspect of it provided an effective learning platform for visitors as opposed to writing, which might be hard to translate …show more content…
The main purpose of the museum is to promote and recognize the works of art over an expanded time, bringing together any societal changes. The Classical world, with notable features that span across centuries and geography, is dated back to prehistoric sculpture, as early as 3000BC from Cyprus, Greece and Italy, to Marble sculpture from the Roman empire as late as 5th century AD. The exhibition includes a particular fine assortment of painted pottery. Produced mainly in Greece and South Italy during the sixth, fifth and fourth centuries BC, these black figure and red-figure vases comprise of the noteworthy segment of the museum’s permanent collection of classical
The Pompeii exhibition featured a number of objects, and how these objects were showed to the public presented a story. We were welcomed by the people into the home and gardens. Later we were given our parting with the photo albums and illuminated Pompeii art. This exhibition shows how much information and history can be presented in a few pieces of art.
The facility was smaller than expected by many on the tour group. However, the tour guide had a very nice explanation to each of the artworks. By visiting the museum to gain the aesthetic experience it has open many people point of views to how they can express his or her self through art.
With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.
As we reach the museum, the exterior was very beautiful. The first things I saw were the bronze statues in the front. We took a couple of pictures in front of them and in front of the Norton Simon. The entrance where the glass doors had sat was very unique and elegant. The glass walls that the glass doors were attached to, added to the elegance and beauty. When I had first walked in, I was very shy, timid, and unwilling to go on, this was due to the more mature audience that I had seen when I had first entered the museum. I was still unsure on how to act in a museum, being this my first time, so I was very calm, cool and reserved, but as time went on I saw college students my age probably doing the same thing I was doing. So I then I felt more at ease. Plus my girlfriend was with me so I was not alone.
The St. Louis Art Museum is one of the United States most renowned art museums that is located in our very own St. Louis. It has over 30,000 pieces of exquisite art that I had the privilege to witness. While there, I mainly examined the art pieces that were modern art, since that is of what I have a good working knowledge. There is a wide range of art that I also got to witness including the sculptures and the museum itself. In the past year, they have recently installed a new sector of their establishment that has done nothing less than enhance the entire museum’s overall beauty. The St. Louis Art Museum, there are many beautiful works, but there were three special projects that caught my eye while I was there. The Contemporary art periods, Modern art periods, the American art periods, and the museum itself.
The Tampa Museum of Art was not always the same museum that we see today. It went through multiple stages throughout the years. The works vary, creating a large spectrum from the old to the new. The social angles change with the exhibits in the museum, combining to create the diversity we see today. Visiting this museum in person helped me to appreciate it even more than I would have thought possible. Observing and analyzing the other visitors helped me to understand the museum’s impact on the community more than I would have been able to just by reading about it. This museum is much different from others than I have visited.
The museum focused more on the experience of the African slaves in the Americas than anything else, but there was some key information on how they travelled to the New World and the conditions they faced. The use of videos and displays was much more prevalent in this area. This is likely due to the fact that this was the main area of the museum. The museum used videos (see Figure 2) to inspire emotive feelings amongst visitors – one video was of a woman describing the punishment and attempted escape of a friend, whilst the other was a detailed, wordless video of slaves being transported aboard a slave ship to the Americas. The second video was on two curved screens spanning three hundred and sixty degrees and with surround sound, fully engaging the visitor in the experience. This was a clever use of video and sound in order to arouse a moving response from the visitor as they began to feel the reality of a slave’s journey to the Americas. The museum also used comprehensive models of plantations (see Figure 3) and slave ships (Figure 4) to allow the visitor to interact with the slave’s experience travelling to and working in the Americas. Interactive displays were again used in exhibitions discussing where the African slaves come from and were taken to work in and what colonies European states held in Africa (see Figure
The Pérez Art Museum Miami, abbreviated PAMM, is a contemporary art museum located in Downtown Miami, in the state of Florida. It was founded in 1984 as the Center for Fine Arts, and in 1996 it changed to Miami Art Museum. It was not until 2013 that the museum changed to its current name and location, moving from East Flagler Street to Downtown Miami. The current name derives from a donation of Jorge M. Pérez, the biggest among private donors. Besides, Mr. Pérez is a well-known and respected trustee and collector of Latin American art.
One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.
A hospital that obtains magnet status displays “knowledge and expertise for the delivery of nursing care globally” (ANCC, 2008). Magnet status means displaying professionalism in models of care with nursing leadership, organizational structure and evidence based practice. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) provides a model to help aid visually with understanding the components a hospital must achieve to be considered magnet. This 5 component model was designed “to provide a framework for nursing practice and research in the future, as well as serving as a road map for organizations seeking to achieve Magnet recognition” (ANCC, 2008).
...o understanding and appreciating Greek art is significant, but as seen through the writings of Gazda, Marvin and Ellen, the practice of appreciating Greek sculpture as presented by the conservative historians is of detriment to the writings and perceptions of historians, as well as the general education of the public. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the abovementioned historians during their times of writings, methodology including Kopienkritik has remained a valued and prevalent approach to judging and analysing of both Greek and Roman sculpture, despite increased criticism. All of these factors serve to undermine the validity of the construct, and show that while the construct may have suited and served the purposes of those who created it, it does nothing to legitimately further proper and rational history of Greek and more specifically, Roman sculpture.
For the first cultural event, I decided to visit the Orlando Museum of Art. Personally, I had never been to an art museum until now so I wasn’t sure what the art would like. I never had an interest to go to an art museum or an interest for art in general because it is very uninteresting in my opinion. I felt like I didn’t belong in the art world. I felt like art was meant for intelligent individuals who understood complex art and the intentions behind a piece of art. Even if I tried to understand art, I was always very critical of it because I never understood what makes art “art” and why it is so important to others. By touring the Orlando Museum of Art, I was hoping to gain a deeper appreciation and understanding for art.
‘New museology’ is the concept of modernising museums and making them more interesting and interactive for the visitors. The District Six Museum is a good example of new museology because it is a relatively new museum that was started and run by the community, not the state and it is very different to older museums. It is very appropriate to have a museum like this in South Africa, because what happened in District Six should not be forgotten and museums like this one encourage people to visit them and find out more about what has happened. Part of new museology is to teach people more about what happened in the past by using more interactive displays; the District Six Museum does this by using a range of interesting and interactive displays.
My trip to the Getty museum was filled with anticipation and an unknowing of what Iwas actually searching to write about. I went on a Friday at about eleven but the museum was still full. It took about twenty minutes to find parking, the wait in line was long, and the tram had so many people it felt even hotter then it actually was. But overall the experience was fun. I enjoyed checking out the works of art and watching the classes of elementary students learn about the history and culture in the room. On one occasion I was very surprised because a mother asked her daughter, who could not have been more than six, about a painting was which she correctly identified as Vincent Van Gogh’s Irises, which was great because I never knew about Van Gogh at her age.
The inside of the museum was intense because you walk into see two huge dinosaur structures in the front. There were also many entrances to different exhibits on top the entrances were enormous murals depicting various things. The murals showed all of the cultures around the world. All of the cultures are able to mix in with each other. For instance, the mural on top of the Asian Peoples exhibit was showing the many different Asian cultures such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese mixing into one huge mural. There was the mural on top of the African Peoples exhibit that included prominent animals such as, lions and elephants. And lastly for the South American Peoples exhibit that included Theodore Roosevelt in the mural signifying the creation of the Panama Canal. I like how the murals all had the same color schemes. These murals showed the impact of various historical events having an im...
