New York City Museum Description
New York City is an outstanding and remarkable city. New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world. This is the city that never sleeps. New York City is outstanding and truly remarkable because of its history, culture, diversity, Broadway musicals, food, skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, and the list goes on. But the thing that intrigues and excites me about New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I will never forget the moment I first laid eyes on the Metropolitan Museum. It was freshman year and I went with my mother and my brother. It was after dark and all its lights were shining on the building. The building itself looked like something straight out of a movie. The building was beautifully designed and was much larger than I was expecting it to be. As I walked into the lobby room, I already felt a sense of luxury. It’s hard to explain, but it felt like walking into a 5-star hotel. When I entered the art exhibits, there were many pieces of art that I just glanced over, but to my surprise, there was

You might say that I’m a little bias since my heritage is Egyptian, but I truly enjoyed the Egyptian exhibit. I really like walking through the Temple of Dendur. The temple was on a stone like platform surrounded with water. The Temple of Dendur looks a 1000 times better during the night time. When it is after dark the whole room is pitch black besides some sculptures and the temple. This gives off a sense of mysteriousness and that feeling is like no other. Another that thing that caught my attention about the Egyptian exhibit was the intricacy of every sculpture, painting, and sarcophagus. No matter the size of the piece of art, there was such fine detail that was incredibly advanced for the time at which it was

    As a child, ancient egyptian history was my escape. I would sit under my covers for hours reading books I had recently checked out from my city library about pharaohs, pyramids, and my favorite subject of all, Cleopatra. When visiting The Rosicrucian Museum of San Jose, I felt like a child agin. While touring the many different exhibits, I became more excited and interested one after another. After carefully reviewing over 4 pairs of artifacts, I chose to compare and contrast a predynastic box coffin and a Middle Kingdom coffin. The predynastic box coffin dates back to 3200 B.C.E and is not adorned with any after life offerings or scriptures, while the coffin of Lady…

    To me the Anne Frank exhibit stood out more because I felt as if I was seeing Anne's life more clearly. In addition, all of the Anne Frank films were very powerful because they were very comprehensible. The Anne Frank exhibit isn't only an exhibit,it teaches people about a young girl's life and how she survived three years in hiding. Also, I really liked The Museum of Tolerance because the gas chamber was a very powerful experience. I liked seeing how the gas chamber was very similar to how the Jews were experiencing that .To conclude, I am very thankful to have had the chance to go to The Museum of Tolerance because I learned so much and I felt in a way connected to Anne's life a bit…

    Brooklyn Museum Analysis

    The Brooklyn Museum’s view of the portrait shows eighteenth-century mixed-race colonial elite of the island of Dominica in the West Indies. When first seeing this painting you can see the fine detail of how it was painted. Brunias was sure to pay attention to detail of clothings and face and yet still keep in mind the body language in which everyone was protrayed. The two women are shown accompanied by their mother and their children, along with eight African servants, as they walk on the grounds of a sugar plantation, one of the agricultural estates that were Dominica's chief source of wealth . Brunias documented colonial women of color as privileged and prosperous. The two wealthy sisters are distinguished from their mother and servants…

    I wish I knew more about Asian Art because of the beautiful artwork I saw while walking through the museum. There were intricate designs painted on vases and the significance of these designs made me wonder about the Chinese culture. It was interesting to find out that in the Tang dynasty the deceased were buried with ceramics that were to recreate the status of the deceased in the afterlife. Before this trip to the museum, I only knew Egyptians were buried with artifacts with this type of…

    In this weeks reading, the artwork that resonated with me most were the Etruscan tombs. As an anthropology student, I am drawn to artwork that is unclear in its meaning, and I am especially drawn to burials. I find it extremely fascinating that we as humans have always placed importance on an afterlife, whether one believes in reincarnation, heaven, or any other type of eternal place of rest.…

    I was surprised at the fact that there were only two people including myself of African descent viewing the exhibit. I was proud that the hall was so beautifully designed and everything was well organized. It made me happy to see that people of several ethnicities were excited and intrigued by the different aspects of African culture. The hall was busy and people were drawing sketches, taking photos, and simply just enjoying the artifacts on…

The artifacts are elegantly displayed on pedestals of simulated Egyptian granite. Available in America for the first time to a whole generation, this classic exhibition vividly brings to life the enigmatic opulent age of 18th Dynasty Egypt.…

    Although all the art exhibits were simply amazing the one that stood out the most to be was Where the Fate Leads Us by Brenda Atwood Pinardi and Candance Walters. I feel as if this one caught my eye for a numerous of reasons, one being that it was the most original one there in my opinion. This art was not like the simple oil and pastel painting I was expecting to see; instead it was actual material constructed together to give off a certain message to those who viewed it.…

    Bodies: The Exhibition

    There was a body there, that had been divided in half, which was by far, the most amazing sight ever. This body was a skeleton that was basically "sliced like cold cuts." I was able to see through every "slice" of the skeleton. The fact that almost every single body displayed at the exhibit was posing like alive and functioning people made it that much more entertaining to see. As strange as it sounds, it made me personally feel like I was able to relate to them more. These are human remains, after all. There was a skeleton holding a football in a section about "balance and muscle strength." There was also a body sitting at a table, while "turning" a page of a book. Another was laying down, "kicking" a ball as…

    At the city museum everything you see isn’t what you would expect and that creates a unique personal experience for everyone. My personal experiences and time at the City Museum were awesome! I climbed, ran, jumped, and crawled to the point where I had bruises just about everywhere, and cartoon-worthy lumps on my head. (If you’re taller than a six-year old, you better watch your head!) My favorite was the ten story slide, which goes from the very top all the way down to the…

    New York City has to be one of the biggest “well-known” cities in the world. People flock to the city from all over the globe. But what inspires these millions of people to come spend thousands of their hard earned dollars to explore a city they've only heard about, or seen on some form of media? From a personal point of view these people are intrigued by the art of the city itself. Every building has a history, every borough or neighborhood has its own unique style.
