Isabella Gardner Museum Analysis
As known in the Isabella Gardner Museum, a very cherished institution. Over $500 million of dollars in art has been stolen from there, and authorities have had difficulties in finding the paintings and the thefts, because as said in paragraph twenty three that "many people in possession of the WPA don't know that they don't have legitimate claim on the paintings, they may have found them at the grandparent's house and they try selling them to dealers or auction houses but what they really don't know is that the government has full custody of the paintings".

So the government try founding the paintings in order to put the paintings in full display for the public to see because those paintings are really not just for the government to see, but

    My recent visit to the Norton Simon Museum was very different than any previous experience I have had with modern art. With only a semester's worth of knowledge under my belt, I was most definitely in awe, and thoroughly entertained, to say the least. Although inspired by many, I chose to analyze two works with very similar subject matter, by two German Expressionist artists. I compared a piece entitled, "Bathing Girls", painted by Franz Marc, to the similarly titled "Bathers Beneath Trees"; a work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.…

    Overall Ella Sharp is an art and history museum. The exhibit I went to was the one on Jackson history. It is one of three permanent exhibits in the museum. The Jackson Exhibit was about the history of Jackson Michigan area from “pre-history to now (circa. 1980’s). It took me a good bit of searching to find the exhibit label. Partially because I thought the label should be near the main entrance to the exhibit and larger than a 9x11 piece of paper. But once I did find it mentioned how there are many empty buildings because of progress and Jackson and this exhibit are always progressing, (as mentioned above this exhibit has not changed in as long as I can remember.)…

    For my cultural event I decided to go and visit the Orlando Museum of Art. There were a lot of different types of art on display. My favorite exhibits had to be the ones on American landscape and the Tony Robbin exhibit. Those both really captured my attention. I also saw all of the art that the Aztecs created. It’s crazy how people from such a long time ago can create such wonderful art. There was one really cool exhibit by David Isenhour and instead of actual paintings, it was very unique looking sculptures that actually made you stand there and think about them and what the artist was thinking when he created them.…

He got positive review from other countries, but when he displayed in the Brooklyn Museum he got a lot of people angry especially the mayor.…

    Art has a long history of being censored by the government, different communities of people, and museums and even through self-censorship. To understand the idea of self-censorship committed by museums, the evolution of censorship is essential. In Christopher B. Steiner words, censorship “attempts to critique or control the dissemination of images or knowledge from an institution which the group perceives to be unilaterally powerful and from which the groups feels excluded.” Using this as a basis to define what censorship is in the context of museums will help expand on the multiple layers of what the issue is and how it is addressed in different countries and cultural institutions. It also needs…

    What amazes me even more then these messes being displayed in national art galleries is that people actually go and see them. Whenever you go to the city you see people go in the art gallery. It is classified as a good thing to do in the city. You spend all that time and effort getting into the city to be confronted by drawings that 3 year olds have done with their eyes closed. Quite honestly I would rather spend the effort and time on one of those new family packs on McDonalds. You would have more entertainment watching the coke in those oversized cups bubble when you blow into the straws.…
